Pros

It is a typical service company . Some projects are good to learn technical things. Work culture is quite flexible (depends on the manager). Associates have flexibility in choosing projects which they want to work on.

Cons

Some projects are very hectic. Onsite used to be good earlier. Process overheads create problems during project execution. Favoritism within teams.

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
