Pros

The job I interviewed for was Great! Able to work in a new industry/vertical market Exposure to a new culture (India) International experience

Cons

I am an American Citizen. At Cognizant, I was a third-class citizen. The job I performed was not the one I interviewed for. Less that a year after I arrived, all my managers left. The managers who took their places did not communicate. While they responded to my questions, I did not receive any substantive information. There was no way to figure out where I fit in their organization or how I might succeed. More than once I was "set up to fail."
