Pros

I got paid to do nothing but two training projects that last 2-3 months each in the span of 14 months.

Cons

say they care in big meetings but don't actually care when it comes person to person. Have to basically get hired while working there to get on a client project. have 5 weeks to get on a project when there is no work to get. They don't care about you. No one to talk to. Management is a joke. No learning experience. No guidance. No growth. over employed with no work I don't see this company lasting or making a good name for itself.

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.
