Pros

Cognizant is a service based company, so you cannot expect to do only development in such companies. They have both development and maintenance for the developed projects. In some departments the pressure is high, but in some its very less. You get recognition and appraisal based on your performance and your behaviour towards everyone.

Cons

You may get stagnant in the same technology, and growth can be slow. May get testing job even if you wanted development. At times you may feel the managers are partial, and some politics may be there.
