Pros
There are a lot of perks in working for a globally recognized, huge consulting firm such as Cognizant: benefits, free learning materials, not having to worry about getting paid.
Cons
The company is not ready to go full remote. There is no unified onboarding experience. There is no single point of contact to go with questions or, if there is, I was never made aware of who he was. On day one, you are just sitting there, full of questions and looking for answers. A huge waste of time and potential resources. A lot of internal tools used by the company are outdated and / or desperately need a new UI. I requested a laptop and got one that had clearly been used by someone else before me, probably for years. It definetely looked old and worn. Not quite a welcoming experience. No clear path to promotion.
