Pros

If you want to just hang around and do nothing in life, Cognizant is the best place to work. You pretty much have to to do nothing other than turn up at office once in a while. If you're billable then you need to know how to escalate matters and send mails all over the place without having to do anything at all. If you're interested in things like problem solving, consulting or using skills learnt in college then it is an absolute waste of time joining this company.

Cons

Bureaucratic, lack of respect for talent

Pros

Working at onsite, you'd get a lot of exposure, that is, if you're really smart and want to improve on your own self. As I see it, placement doesn't happen based on an employee's choice (on 50% of the cases and I can't complain much due to paucity of options for the company and employees). If you prove that you're capable, you're definitely given options to lead/manage teams and they let you do a lot of organizational level activities. You can definitely become a very good sales person and a Manager, if you have some drive.

Cons

1. Salary 2. Even if your immediate boss recognizes you well, the senior management (not all, but a few) think employees are a liability 3. Very Poor in managing appraisals, promotions and compensation 4. Can provide better medical and other benefits, just OK in this regard
