Pros

Good place to work in US. Good exposure, many projects, good clients, good for freshers and people with less than a year of experience

Cons

Bad pay for everyone in US, no growth, lots of politics, use of gc to lure workers, bring in people who can hardly speak english and apply green cards for them under eb1A category while there are phds and brilliant masters people waiting in queue on eb2.

Hard to get promoted I have been there for over 3 years and no promotion or recognition You must seek employment elsewhere if you want a promotion, unless you work with the right management

Pros

In CTS the harder you work , the faster you grow. But the problem is that no one seems to realise that you have a life beyond the office. If you are one of those people who wants to grow fast and are prepared to spend night and day in office, Cognizant is the place for you. It is recruiting heavily now and if you are even just average tech with good communication skills you'll be through. My tip is to know fully well of your current project and speak so highly of it that you are able to drive your interview. All the best!!

Cons

Forget your personal life. And as is there in every company you have to kiss up to your seniors. All the best!
