Pros

Overall Cognizant is a good place to work with.

Cons

Promotions are harder nowadays at onsite due to a large no of employees competing with each other. GC has been stopped which is a big drawback for many who want to work a little more than 6 years in H1B. They have introduced new methodology of appraisal which is very difficult for many to achieve because of the mandatory certifications which need to be completed.
