Pros

Good employee satisfaction. Good knowledge management initiatives throughout the organization. Drive for innovation initiatives.

Cons

Onsite opportunities restrictions for new joinees. Employee satisfaction varies within organization for different clients so if you are lucky u are in a good account you would be happy else your response could be extreme if u are stuck with poor paying client. Lots of redundant processes for middle layer management through cognizant developed reporting portals. Not the best of the processes being implemented everywhere!!

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
