Pros

Great work life balance, Performance pays on most occasion especially when there is a feel good industry factor

Cons

No opportunity to perform high end consulting, No well defined technical career path, PM Career path is the default option if you want to grow in Cognizant, however it will not give you the true PM roles and responsiblities unless you work from offshore.

Pros

Company is pretty flexible in providing time off ....and the management is ok

Cons

Poor compensation policies : So far the company got away by using the ESOP as a tool to retain talent ....instead of paying a good competitive package. But now with the stock falling out of favour it is time to seriously think about fair compensation policies. lack of clear career planning : Having been a growing company for the last 10 years it was easy to provide a fast moving path to the employees.Now that it is reaching a certain level of maturity ......growth will not be all easy & readily possible ...so proper career planning needs to be implemented so that the associates used to quick jumps are not demotivated.
