Pros

- Good company with good growth prospects as it is new and has hunger for more. - Top management has vision and strategy to go ahead - at the lower management and individual contributers, excellent resources and hunger for delivering more.

Cons

- CIS (Cognizant Infrastructure Service) is a Cartel at the Senior management layer. You need to bend and satisfy their ego if you need to survive and thrive. - Skills are not seen for delegating a job, infact favorites are chosen.

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.
