Pros

Opportunities are many as it is a huge organisation.

Cons

More than talent its luck if you are at the right place (right project) to grab them. They dont consider training marks/score while allocating a project. Even an underperformer lands up into a good project and a good performer is left at the mercy of work force management (people who map you to a project). There are many projects that are screwed because of under-skilled people.

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.
