      Not for Performers. Not for Career Growth. It's got a pretty bad Brand Image

      Pros

      Can work for all kind of enterprises - large, small and medium. Lot of customers (even though Cognizant is trying to keep up with the momentum of other Consulting Companies). Can work at a preferred location based on the priorities of the engagement and your manager. Relocation is easy with Cognizant. Some of the people from management are good and professional.

      Cons

      Poor HR policies. Mediocre Insurance Choices. High Employee Contribution. Internal Politics / Poor Team Camaraderie No values for employees under conflicting situations between the customer and the team. No transparency in any dealings (internal/external). Highly Indianized Organization. Pay is below the industry standards. Lots of politics.

      Pros

      You get salary on time. They will pay your relocation taxes.

      Cons

      1. Number 1 abuser of EB1C visa. Org chart is manipulated and you will report to multiple people in a year until their EB1C is approved. 2. No transparency in ratings and promotion. Deserving people won't get it and people who don't know ABCs of project will get it. 3. Only company I ever know who pays 2% hike and bonus to low level people (A, SA), 4 % to M, 6 % to SM and so on. In simple words they don't care for most of the people from whom they make money. 4. They have changed the insurance policy recently where in you are paying the same premium and insurance won't pay a single penny until you meet deductible of 6K 5. People with 12+ year of experience in company are not able to get promotion. But person joining with 5 year experience is joining as SA 6. Most of M, SM, AD, D can't speak or write single sentence correctly.
