Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

- On boarding was not provided. - Crazy working schedule: They expect you to work from 10 to 14 hrs (which is illegal) - Too much micromanagement - Bad quality in projects - When you want to make improvements they just don't want to hear about it - Too much disorganization - Even getting your time sheets approved it's painful. - They just care about getting customers, they don't care about their employees

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.
