Cons
I worked originally for Levementum, which was acquired by Cognizant. After 2 years, the entire culture of Lev was stripped away and replaced by Cognizant. I was an individual contributor, but well ranked in my position being a senior, a leader on multiple accounts, and a mentor to my team. I saw the environment crumble from the stress and demands of Cog. The hours we were expected to work was astronomically high compared to all consultancies that we competed against, the clients that we had deals with had no protection for myself and teammates - things were underscroped, over promised, and incorrectly sold. This provided a difficult experience for clients - they had expectations for what work they were sold, but the moment work began, it was not aligned with anyone's expectations. All managers were throwing in the towel. No one could fight anymore to protect people, and when people leave, we had no say in how to interview for actual talent. People being hired had no skills that they promised in interviews, and Cognizant refused to allow exercises to ensure we were hiring correctly. There was no onboarding either, so many times I'd assist new hires who were supposed to be technically more advanced that I on accounts when they should have know already what to do, or would have gotten up to speed during an onboarding.
