Pros

It is a wonderful place to work if you are from India. Great opportunities for those on an L1 visa. Low pay and bad living conditions seem to be the norm, but the Indian workers do not seem to mind that. I was shocked at the living conditions of my coworkers.

Cons

High emphasis is placed on supporting the Indian workforce. Employees from the States have higher expectations of how they should be treated. As a result, American workers are not a good fit for the company.

Pros

If you want to just hang around and do nothing in life, Cognizant is the best place to work. You pretty much have to to do nothing other than turn up at office once in a while. If you're billable then you need to know how to escalate matters and send mails all over the place without having to do anything at all. If you're interested in things like problem solving, consulting or using skills learnt in college then it is an absolute waste of time joining this company.

Cons

Bureaucratic, lack of respect for talent
