Pros
For employees joining in India, there are many opportunities to travel abroad. Cognizant's "Client first" policy that sets the priority clear. Headed by young and dynamic CEO, Frank.
Cons
No recognition for quality work. Lower compensation compared to other companies. High salary disparity between employees promoted and employees hired at same levels. Random adhoc promotion policies. Socialistic approach to promotion based on seniority. There are some exceptions to this where people with extremely high talent getting promoted soon. But, they are very few in number. HR policies - that never seem to make sense.

Pros
If you are in India and want to get out of there, this place is good.
Cons
Everything else is terrible - people are recruited with no proper screening and quality of employees sucks. Almost everyone has a sense of entitlement, esp. people coming from no name enginnering colleges and getting placed because these companies hire indiscriminately. They cannot string together complete sentences in english without making grammatical mistakes. The only people with more than 10 yrs work ex that are left here are people who cannot make it elsewhere. this is one of the companies where people stop coding and move on to excel sheets as soon as they become a team lead. Pathetic - no talent at middle levels.
