Pros

Global Exposure and Career Growth: Cognizant provides opportunities to work on a diverse set of projects across different industries, offering global exposure and structured programs for career advancement such as Dovetail and Career Compass

Bench System and Job Security: The company's bench system requires employees to find new projects themselves after a current assignment ends; failure to do so within a certain period often results in job termination, leading to significant job insecurity and stress.
