Pros

6 months ago, there were lots of pros (culture, leadership support, transparent communications), but now the only remaining positive is the people who remain (for now).

Cons

Lack of leadership, trust, and communication; Former culture/sense of community eliminated (Chief Culture Officer and VP of Diversity and Inclusion both subject to RIF); Parent company transfers are being pushed into CS (aka Workday practice) leadership consulting positions without any prior Workday experience; Cognizant appears to be planning to replace us with as many offshore resources as possible

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.
