Pros

- Good Environment - Salary Comes on time - Great benefits - Initial training given is really helpful - You get free access to entire library of Udemy so make sure you take use of that

Cons

- Getting assigned to team could be hard. I had to wait on bench and follow up with a lot of people to get assigned to one - The team u get assigned could be entirely different from what u get during training - Some luck element in play. People with good managers and teams are happier and otherwise are having nightmares. Experience is not consistent - You dont get to choose your teams so you could get some outdated techstack that doesnt help u much in career

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.
