Pros

Fast growing company means good growth opportunities if in correct team. Senior leadership has good pulse of the market direction and also company's alignment to changes in the market trends.

Cons

Quick growth has so far hidden the flaws of a revenue driven matrix organization. Movement across the organizational groups/geographies is detrimental to career growth avenues.

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.
