Pros

You get good opportunities to grow in early stages. In my case I have done my digital honors in my first year and received hike of 50% moving from genc to genc next. Work is smooth if tou are in right direction you will learn lot from projects. Yo get opportunities to participate in external certification programs.

Cons

Some projects have tight deadlines and less resources which leads to bad system design. Annual hikes are so less and work culture is not upto mark even compared to other service based companies.

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.
