      Favoritism

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Pay is good and the amount of OT you can get.

      Cons

      They bribe you with incentives to work OT, and after putting in 50+ hours they frown upon you when you opt out. Management and team leads have their favorites, if your not one, you better watch your back. You have people who watch and tell every little thing you do like a hawk. They micromanage. IF you try and address any issues or discrepancies you are retaliated against. Management nor HR cares about you, wont hear you out, will write you up under false information and will not take the time to verify facts. You have to know the right people or kiss up to the right person to be treated fairly/equally. It's all in who you know.

      If you're American -- Run Away

      Pros

      The job I interviewed for was Great! Able to work in a new industry/vertical market Exposure to a new culture (India) International experience

      Cons

      I am an American Citizen. At Cognizant, I was a third-class citizen. The job I performed was not the one I interviewed for. Less that a year after I arrived, all my managers left. The managers who took their places did not communicate. While they responded to my questions, I did not receive any substantive information. There was no way to figure out where I fit in their organization or how I might succeed. More than once I was "set up to fail."
