Pros

Could not say as couldn't join.

Cons

The bgv process is time consuming. Keep an eye on it till your last day at your current organization. If its incomplete, take back your resignation. As its mandatory to complete before joining. I have wasted 2 months after leaving my current organization just to listen that bgv is negative. Couldn't join as a result.

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.
