Pros

employee friendly good hr policy team work formal culture growth

Cons

working environment flexibility working hours insecurity time duration The economic recession is forcing more executives to consider employment opportunities with small shops after working at large corporations. While there are advantages to moving to a small shop, realize that it might not be the best choice for all executives. Understand where you're at in your career. When you identify what challenges you face as well as what resources you're willing to give up, you can more easily make the transition to a small shop and thrive.

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.
