      Pros

      Good company for freshers to start their IT career and gain strong project exposure. Opportunity to work on multiple technologies like Selenium, Playwright, API Testing, CI/CD, and Agile methodologies. Supportive teammates and collaborative work culture in most projects. Good learning platforms and internal training/certification opportunities. Exposure to enterprise-level applications and client interactions. Work-life balance is decent depending on project and client. Opportunity to transition from manual testing to automation testing. Flexible to learn modern tools and AI-assisted development practices. Stable organization with good brand value on resume.

      Cons

      Salary hikes and promotions can sometimes be slower compared to market standards. Project allocation highly depends on business requirements and luck. Some projects may still use older technologies/processes. Internal job movement process can take time. Recognition and growth opportunities may vary between projects/managers. Work pressure can increase during release cycles and production deployments. Decision-making process can sometimes be slow in large organizational structure

      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.
