Pros

The company is currently hiring, partly because they have driven away over 2/3 of the SFMC team over the last year or so.

Cons

Do you enjoy corporate drudgery and process upon process upon process? This place may be for you! Honestly, there is little to any fun in the day to day and there is soo much pressure to be "big consulting" that the work is almost forgotten. Team members who want to grow and try new things are often overlooked for new employees coming into the business from other places.

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.
