Pros

You get good opportuities to drive a lot of things, if you are smart and prove your self capable of doing so ( which is not so difficult, you will get opportunities to do so)... The seniors will commend your work, if its warranted.

Cons

Goood work done, good praise received, but there is hardly any monetary recognization..even if you have made a substantial impact on organzation's success. If you are in the middle management then usually the ;'budget' and stuff like will dictate your benefits during appriasal time.

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.
