Pros

Good working culture, that is one reason I have been with Cognizant for more than 11+ years

Cons

Company is doing very good each quarter in terms of profit year after year, but still they do the minimal hike to employees. Other draw back thing is, their appraisal cycle sucks. Whatever you do or contribute, it behaves like Indian government reservation quota, so not all star performers will be rewarded, because you do not have quota for this year, will try next year :-)

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.
