Pros

I have gained a lot of experience working for very large companies such as At&t, Comcast, Verizon, etc in many different areas. I have led large and small groups of people in my work there. I have been able to work from home.

Cons

Performance reviews and promotions are based solely on the person managing the project. Depending on how that person rate's people's performance or interprets the ratings you may not be promoted or receive a good bonus despite your actual performance. Cognizant's salaries do are not competetive with other comparative consulting firms.
