Pros

Good medical, dental, and vision benefits.

Cons

If you are not an Indian male, you are not valued. Everything is focused around being as cheap as possible including a big shift to move jobs to India or bringing Indian employees to the U.S. on VISAs. Most employees are remote and all the company provides is a laptop and cell phone. The turnover of employees who are U.S. citizens in the last three years has been extremely high because of dissatisfaction. The company touts their high level of diversity and inclusion which is very minimal, especially with women in management and technical jobs. It's a male dominated company.

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.
