Pros

They pay a little more than other jobs in the area when I started

Cons

- Pay does not keep pace - Most of the off-shore team is incompetent - Unattainable Deadlines and no assistance with completing them - Does not properly staff sites - Actively destroys the clients IT environment I would not recommend anyone hire this company or work for them. They are actively terrible at what they do and how they operate. The company claims to be a US company when it is an Indian MSP.

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.
