Pros

Empowerment, entrepreneurship, client focus, attention to employees and results oriented culture are some of the good parts of working for Cognizant. Employees have extraordinary freedom to do what is right for the customer, company and employees. It is a very good training ground for entreprenuers. The focus to meet and exceed customer expectations is core to the company culture.

Cons

Cognizant is a very decentralized organization and clear communication of strategy is sometimes lacking. The company is quite conservative and does not take many risks. Nor has been a pioneer in taking the industry to new directions.

Pros

You get to stay for a longer time at Onsite when you come in L1's or H1's. Also if you agree to any damn thing you manager says then you will be promoted and recognized no matter what. so the possibilities for you to succeed is 50-50.

Cons

No benefits and very low pay
