Pros

If you are non-technical person and a selfish person and knows how to cheat people(your team members),Use them cleverly and throw them away once the job is done.this is right place for you.

Cons

Just Everything ...I joined CTS 5 years back, campus-recruited (delayed the joining day by 6 months)..Management guy are mostly non-techie , talks sweetly -- never believe them the screw up your career. Pay scale is one of lowest in the field.No work/life balance. I heard most my teammates saying "this guy(proj.lead/manager) treats us like slaves man" One interesting trend i found is that ,almost 99% IT manager belong to specific caste (lol)..

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.
