Vantaggi

None, everyone with any talent leaves or is trying to.

Svantaggi

The work is dull and unfulfilling, there are so many restrictions on every aspect of your day to day job mean you spend more time trying to find work arounds than you actually spend doing your job. The leadership team are only focused on themselves and dont care about anyone else, meaning no career progression, training or upskilling in anything relevant (you will however be forced to spend hours doing pointless training in something that has nothing to do with your job). HR is a joke. Commmunications are rude and aggressive. Lots of sly redundancies and a bench policy that basically is your entry point to redundancy where you have to beg for work and get let off if there isn't any available - not something you expect to have to do when you take on a permanent job. Rubbish pay and the worst bonuses (if you even get one) that ive ever experienced, pay rises are promised and then dont materialise, so with inflation and cost of living, im actually worst off financially that when I started in the job. Ive never known such constant sick leave and people needing to be signed off for their mental health, which is completely understandable give the environment, but horrific that the company treats people so bad that this happens. I would leave in a heartbeat if the market wasn't so bad.

Vantaggi

A potential inroad into large client companies (Leave Cognizant ASAP) You aren't unemployed.

Svantaggi

It's a body shop. Clients will view you accordingly. Contractors cannot be trusted with most tasks. You must be siloed (No room for growth) so you don't break anything. Your actual job is to fulfill gaps in the client's grunt work even if out of scope. If you don't, the hammer falls from client and Cognizant. Wages well below industry standards. 1% annual raises only exist because legally they must exist. Takes full advantage of H-1B slave system, where employees' families and homes will be thrown into a furnace if you aren't keeping Cognizant happy no matter what. Employees are complacent in their slavery. Management is just happy to get their extra crumbs and will reinforce the bad culture. C-suite is opaque. If you are familiar with India's caste system you will understand how "lessers" are treated. This also happens in a literal sense, you aren't totally safe just because you are the favored skin tone. Takes full advantage of modern white collar culture. "Your racist actions aren't actually racist if you aren't Caucasian." Expect the uphill battle to be even more steep if you're not Southeast Asian. You will hunt for your own work most of the time. Cognizant is not helpful in any regard. They exist to skim off the top and nothing else.
