Pros

The training for some domain is quite good. The company pays the employee salary on the last working day of the month without fail.

Cons

Once the training is done getting into project and actual work is not guaranteed. You might need to wait for few months or even a year. There is no one responsible once u get into project as PAT and completed later within short frame

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.
