Pros

Cognizant is a service based company, so you cannot expect to do only development in such companies. They have both development and maintenance for the developed projects. In some departments the pressure is high, but in some its very less. You get recognition and appraisal based on your performance and your behaviour towards everyone.

Cons

You may get stagnant in the same technology, and growth can be slow. May get testing job even if you wanted development. At times you may feel the managers are partial, and some politics may be there.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
