Pros

Not pros i can think of

Cons

They don't consider your aspirations or job role that you want, they just dump you wherever they need to backfill into projects. They will not even considering releasing you even if you go to any leadership. No good learning opportunities. Resources are not good to work with, work quality is not good.

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
