Job security for performing associates. Availability of good learning resources. Good internal hiring policies. Great informal work environment puts you at ease while approaching higher management who is always open to listen to your concerns and nuances.

Promotions and pay are not really tied to performance. No special benefits for high performers. Job Expectations at each level are very well managed.

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.
