Pros

Cognizant purchased the company that I worked for. The good thing for us is they let us keep our PTO and tried to not disrupt the company as much as possible. Since the acquisition I'm lucky to not have been "benched" or laid off. If you get benched you have 7 weeks to find a new project in the company. That is good.

Cons

I feel like Cognizant doesn't put too much emphasis on employee satisfaction. The coffee/break room supplies and general office supplies are very cheap compared to what they used to be.

Pros

Good parking. Cafe onsite. Decent pay. Decent benefits.

Cons

Attrition of experienced staff has taken its toll and most teams are skeletal at best. Back fill of those positions has been 18+ months in the waiting. At its core, this is a consulting company, so there is extreme pressure to complete tasks versus providing long term sustainable solutions.
