Pros

COGNIZANT USA is a good company but was created to provide jobs for INDIANS not AMERICANS, the majority in the company are Indians, company is a hub to import Indian labor to US, not fair for sure, so if you are a original American not Indian forget about Cognizant they will not hire you, also if they hire you, you will not last for long, job security for Americans is pretty low at Cognizant, they have a deployment pool for projects but if after a month you don`t find a project they will let you go.

Cons

Already explained in the PROS, USA department of labor needs to regulate more the gap for Indian positions, so far in USA they are too many, and also with very poor degree from India not comparable to USA universities.

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.
