Pros

The engineering is on high lever in Cognizant Netcentric and one has and opportunity to work with really great professionals on the projects. Also a lot of people who it's pleasure and fun to work with.

Cons

It's really hard to get raise or promotion. Even though the process is pretty clear, one knows well what to do in order to get eligible for promotion, however, once told he "will" be promoted, it then can take up to a year for it to actually happen and even that is not guaranteed. One is told to wait a lot and that there is nothing one can do about it. Overall, the salary is not great, there is also no great benefits.

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.
