Pros

Cognizant has excellent benefit package (not compensation). Has good choices of projects. Career growth is being given importance recently.

Cons

Because of growth lot of bureaucracy has come in between hierarchy. Appraisal process is just customary and no say or denial by an individual. Though has separate academic function the courses are not industry standard. At onsite no encouragement is given for external ceritifications.

Pros

Recruitments from best institutes - IIT, IIM. Intellectual colleagues, Hard working environment, Go-getter attitude amongst majority of the folks across all levels.

Cons

Since the acquisition by Cognizant Technology (CTSH), the "body shopping" culture has permeated. Ex-Senior Management of marketRx has taken a back-seat and is busy counting their payout $$$. Some folks are in senior positions simply due to nepotism and should be fired ASAP!
