Pros

Service based company and NOT a software engineering company You dont have any pressure to learn anything as you are working in Glorified Call centre You can enjoy your life like hell ,You have a good respect in Indian society who thinks that you are working in a software engineering company(Because Indian society does not know reality) You can learn the art of buttering ,politics ,social skills

Cons

Except learning anything useful ,you will learn How to waste time of 9–10 hours completely everyday.Lot of employees in this company commute also, Which also takes 2 hours everyday because of the heavy traffic, so one can literally waste 13 hours everyday without doing anything. You wont learn anything about Software or Computer science or any thing related to career growth ,as you will be doing data entry ONLY in Some tools ,You are working in a GLORIFIED call centre.

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
