      Fun place to work - Junior Software Developer Cognizant Employee Review

      Pros

      The team is nice and friendly. There are a lot of company events organized. You really like to go to work. Everything is quite transparently communicated and you can participate in circles to decide about changes within the company (holacracy). Also a lot of goodies like fruits, cerials, once a month a paid lunch together and so on. Super flexible hours and work from home policy!

      Cons

      So far I‘d say the only disadvantage is the salary of juniors and the small difference of salary when changing from trainee to junior developer. The badge system to achieve a higher level means usually extra work besides your usual daily project work.

      Pros

      Cognizant offers good learning opportunities, broad project exposure, which makes it a solid place to build experience in consulting and large-scale delivery. It can be especially useful for career growth if you value skill development, global client work, and a structured corporate environment.

      Cons

      Cognizant’s main drawbacks are slower salary growth, uneven management quality. more process-heavy environment compared with product companies
