A place that is challenging, where you can learn, and where most of the work is done offshore. - Senior Manager Cognizant Employee Review

Pros

Mainly nice people. If you are in the CBC group you will have much more opportunities than most other groups.

Cons

No good central repository for knowledge sharing. The SharePoint site is difficult to use and information is difficult to find. Different groups can fight each other for a piece of the pie in a proposal. Nothing is consistent in how it is performed.

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.
