Pros

Not many, only being able to work from home.

Cons

- Horrible organization. Managers don't have any clue what they're doing - Zero gifts - Waiting for 5 months to get a laptop to work on - Company-issued laptops have an insane amount of restrictions and you won't be able to use it for a client work - Management doesn't have a clue how to make company-issued hardware work for client needs - After getting hired, you'll need to do a ton more interviews with clients they want to allocate you for.

Pros

Good amount of training opportunity and opportunities to make connections as they have hundreds of thousands of employees all over the world working on many different projects.

Cons

It feels like you're a number. My raises lagged inflation by quite a lot. Also I had a closer relationship to the company I was on contract with than Cognizant. Cognizant would just check in on me every now and again, which that might be a pro for some, it's a con for me because they wanted you to do a bunch of added work and projects for them and incentivize you to do it with higher bonuses. Again, this sounds like a pro to some, for me it was a con because I already had a commitment to the company I was on contract with and plenty of work to do for them.
