Pros

Reasonable pay, Flexible Timings, Good work culture and environment, Multi-cultural environment.

Cons

Support staff not supportive either HR or Admin or Network Staff. It is a struggle to get projects done in time as there is very less guidance from senior staff and requires a lot self-learning. Poor pay hikes even for the deserving staff. Variable Pay system is ridiculous as there is only 10% of staff get the entire variable pay as mentioned in offer letter.

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.
