      Pros

      Benefits provided by the organization to employees are too good. Some fools ruined the work culture here. Don't just ruin your career.

      Cons

      A big list of cons. 1. Work culture here is completely ruined by some fools who came from India. 2. Lot of Racism & Regionalism by people who come from India. 3. Some fools work here as managers to ruin the career of young talent. 4. All Indian fools who are fit for nothing work here as Managers. 5. Even thought it has good clients these fools(Managers) are not capable of managing the projects. 6. These fools just for their safety ruin the career of others. 7. With no proper planning Hiring to a project and releasing them can be seen here too often. 8. All those positive reviews are again kept by few managers. Please verify you will get to know. 9. If salary is most important for you than career then you can join this company. "Don't just ruin your career by joining these consulting companies until the high level is cleaned just prefer a client"

      Morale down

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO is a big plus, as well as the ability to work from home.

      Cons

      Since Cognizant took over the morale has declined significantly. People are more worried about their jobs, where the company is physically moving to, changes in structure, etc rather than focusing on their job. It feels as if we are in a constant state of 'unknown' which causes the morale to sink which then makes it hard to come into work day after day.

      Favoritism

      Pros

      Pay is good and the amount of OT you can get.

      Cons

      They bribe you with incentives to work OT, and after putting in 50+ hours they frown upon you when you opt out. Management and team leads have their favorites, if your not one, you better watch your back. You have people who watch and tell every little thing you do like a hawk. They micromanage. IF you try and address any issues or discrepancies you are retaliated against. Management nor HR cares about you, wont hear you out, will write you up under false information and will not take the time to verify facts. You have to know the right people or kiss up to the right person to be treated fairly/equally. It's all in who you know.
