Pros

Cognizant is a service based company, so you cannot expect to do only development in such companies. They have both development and maintenance for the developed projects. In some departments the pressure is high, but in some its very less. You get recognition and appraisal based on your performance and your behaviour towards everyone.

Cons

You may get stagnant in the same technology, and growth can be slow. May get testing job even if you wanted development. At times you may feel the managers are partial, and some politics may be there.

Pros

None, run dont even consider them

Cons

"India-first mentality." The company says it wants to work with people across the Americas and Europe, but many decisions still seem to follow an Indian way of operating without properly considering local labor laws, regulations, and workplace expectations. There are serious concerns about job stability. The company frequently praises itself for creating employment opportunities, but at the same time, it appears to be bringing more employees from India into U.S. roles while letting go of people from the Americas and Europe who have contributed to the company. This creates uncertainty and raises questions about the company's commitment to its existing workforce. Every meeting seems to be focused on AI : AI this, AI that, AI everywhere. Employees are constantly asked to complete AI related training and adapt to AI initiatives, while at the same time letting people go so they can afford AI. Compensation is another area that needs improvement. After my contributions and time with the company, my last salary increase was only $20, which felt extremely discouraging and showed a lack of appreciation for employees' efforts.
