Pros

Good paymasters compare with other Indian firms operate business in US

Cons

I consider this company as a stop gap , but never be the company for professional growth. You come across ruthless BDM's, some time morons who can not value to technical expertise of the consultants, but ready to lick the shoes of the clients. But feel there would be more professional way of dealing clients. One point we should mention about is that dirty politics and incompetent operations team who do not even take rational decisions on deployment of resources on assignments. There will be lot to mention but in nutshell its just not the right company for career.

Pros

If you are out of work, cant find anything else and need a job..

Cons

This is primarily a testing shop. Most companies see Cognizant as experienced testers regardless of your experience or background. The executives try to sell other services for Cognizant but are rarely successful due to the company's perception. Most employees in US are managers and above. Testers are frequently brought in from India
