Pros

If you do your job, you will keep it. Pay was always on time. Working from home (limited).

Cons

Mandatory working on holidays and weekends as per the project's needs. Salaries were too low for the type of stress and long shifts that we needed to do. At the end, I was handling a team of 20 people that had better positions and better salaries than me, with no recognition whatsoever. That's why I decided to leave.

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.
