Pros

Working conditions are good, people are wonderful, work is flexible.

Cons

Don't expect a raise or a fair evaluation. Even if you did a fantastic job, if others did too then they 'rate on normalization or the curve' and only so many are permitted to get an excellent review. This is very harmful as two years in a row my supervisor rated me at an EA rating but I got bumped each time to a EM rating and then do not receive my full bonus. This is extremely out of date in rewarding associates for their hard work. We have lost so many in our workplace because of this reason. They went elsewhere after many years and seeing no reward.

Pros

Benefits provided by the organization to employees are too good. Some fools ruined the work culture here. Don't just ruin your career.

Cons

A big list of cons. 1. Work culture here is completely ruined by some fools who came from India. 2. Lot of Racism & Regionalism by people who come from India. 3. Some fools work here as managers to ruin the career of young talent. 4. All Indian fools who are fit for nothing work here as Managers. 5. Even thought it has good clients these fools(Managers) are not capable of managing the projects. 6. These fools just for their safety ruin the career of others. 7. With no proper planning Hiring to a project and releasing them can be seen here too often. 8. All those positive reviews are again kept by few managers. Please verify you will get to know. 9. If salary is most important for you than career then you can join this company. "Don't just ruin your career by joining these consulting companies until the high level is cleaned just prefer a client"

Morale down

Pros

Unlimited PTO is a big plus, as well as the ability to work from home.

Cons

Since Cognizant took over the morale has declined significantly. People are more worried about their jobs, where the company is physically moving to, changes in structure, etc rather than focusing on their job. It feels as if we are in a constant state of 'unknown' which causes the morale to sink which then makes it hard to come into work day after day.
