Pros

Benefits provided by the organization to employees are too good. Some fools ruined the work culture here. Don't just ruin your career.

Cons

A big list of cons. 1. Work culture here is completely ruined by some fools who came from India. 2. Lot of Racism & Regionalism by people who come from India. 3. Some fools work here as managers to ruin the career of young talent. 4. All Indian fools who are fit for nothing work here as Managers. 5. Even thought it has good clients these fools(Managers) are not capable of managing the projects. 6. These fools just for their safety ruin the career of others. 7. With no proper planning Hiring to a project and releasing them can be seen here too often. 8. All those positive reviews are again kept by few managers. Please verify you will get to know. 9. If salary is most important for you than career then you can join this company. "Don't just ruin your career by joining these consulting companies until the high level is cleaned just prefer a client"

Morale down

Pros

Unlimited PTO is a big plus, as well as the ability to work from home.

Cons

Since Cognizant took over the morale has declined significantly. People are more worried about their jobs, where the company is physically moving to, changes in structure, etc rather than focusing on their job. It feels as if we are in a constant state of 'unknown' which causes the morale to sink which then makes it hard to come into work day after day.

Pros

Free snacks and drinks , time compensating and sadly that's it.

Cons

Since they took us from former vendors everything just went down. They have promised us many good things (for example salary review, which never happened) . Cognizant is looking just for benefits for them self and forgets employees. Last week they increased targets for 10% and let us know just a day before, what was very surprising, not to mention that they just increase targets but not bonuses uplift. After those changes, many people start looking for new jobs in other companies, even tho they are woking for Google maps more than two years. Management is very bad, no communication between vendor and employees, everything is just messed up.
