      COMPANY HAS INDIANS AS MAJORITY they don`t care about hiring US workers

      Pros

      COGNIZANT USA is a good company but was created to provide jobs for INDIANS not AMERICANS, the majority in the company are Indians, company is a hub to import Indian labor to US, not fair for sure, so if you are a original American not Indian forget about Cognizant they will not hire you, also if they hire you, you will not last for long, job security for Americans is pretty low at Cognizant, they have a deployment pool for projects but if after a month you don`t find a project they will let you go.

      Cons

      Already explained in the PROS, USA department of labor needs to regulate more the gap for Indian positions, so far in USA they are too many, and also with very poor degree from India not comparable to USA universities.

      Once innovative, now at the mercy of Cognizant

      Pros

      Softvision was known for it's stand out and innovative software product engineering. Folks were scrappy and inspired, the work was interesting, and the people were engaged. It felt like the company you wanted to be at forever. Managers cared, sales and delivery managers managed client expectations, and teams bonded over problem solving.

      Cons

      Then the merger with Cognizant began creeping into the day-to-day activities. Work became more cookie cutter and run-of-the-mill. Sales teams sold staff augmentation and promised unrealistic deliverables, then bullied and pushed the teams to meet them. Managers disappeared because they became powerless to help, teams were grinding to the bone and didn't have time to connect with other team members. Reviews, promotions, and merit increases were frozen - and a LOT of really good people left.

      Horrible company to work for

      Pros

      None I can think of unfortunately.

      Cons

      The level of dis organization at this company is unheard of. Stay away from this company at all costs. You will be micro managed in every thing you do. You will not be happy working here at all. They will lie to you on a daily basis. You will not get paid for any expense reports you submit. As they will find a reason not to pay you and reimburse you for money that comes out of your own pocket. Management is totally out of touch with employees.
