Pros

Cognizant has lot of big clients, once a project goes down they take care of relocating to the other states or cities whichever is applicable. As such is good for people dont mind moving between states and cities. Even during the bad times during 2002 when the market was not doing good, the did not send employees out but instead reduced the bonus payments without reducing the basepay. They try their level best to help the couples working with Cognizant, by giving job openings as close as possible. Good resort for the aspirants of US PR.

Cons

Before joining negotiate the salary after which it seldom changes. The support group is having less people, which they are working on currently. not sure how it is at this moment. There are times I had to wait for 10 months to get reimbursement settlement. Promotion, Salary will be a big problem for the employees. There are some practices which will be cumbersome.
