Pros

Homeoffice. German colleges are nice. Indian colleges have unrealistic expectations and everything has to be done yesterday.

Cons

No salary increase, no promotion. The company is restructuring since over 2 years. Lots of people left. A lot of uncertainty and doubt. Duplicated security departments and at war with each other, fighting for the work and lead. At the same time, shortage in the delivery team for years.

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
