Pros
Good for freshers only and less than 6 years of experience.Good salary at joining as a lateral hire.
Cons
No personal growth. 10% mandatory lowest rating and they will not get any project if is a senior member. Cognizant force them to resign. The performance improvement plan (PIP) is not there and in the name of PIP, they will conduct illegal examination not relevant to technology you worked.T hat's the way they invented now to reduce employee strength. Do not join if you are a senior employee. HR is horrible, often make a false statement. Do not Join Cognizant now if you are more than 10 years experience!!!!!!!! Cognizant invested lot of money recently and hired good lawyer so that they can legally find a way to resign/terminate an employee. You will not get anything except bread and butter !!
