Vantaggi

# Good work culture. # Flexible timings. # Supportive team (peers, sub-ordinates and supervisors). # Onsite opportunities available.

Svantaggi

CTS is basically a service based company. Whether you feel good or bad about work here is a reflection of how your client treats. Your comfort at work depends upon the client you work with. Below are some of my experiences with a banking client. # Scope and solution model keeps changing day by day. The project deadlines remain the same. # There are lot of non technical requirements, to be met. # You won't get a competent team to meet the project many times. Only some of the members are good. # There is no work life balance. # Some of the architectures are flawed. You cannot change them. But all the risk of delivery will be on top of you. # Job of a lead is very tough. Stress is beyond one's bearing capacity. # Freshers can thrive in this kind of projects. They can grow up to meet the requirements and slowly become capable leads. # For laterals this can be a nightmare. # Management is aware of these issues. I am sad that does not help. But this experience does not apply to all employees. There are other projects which are better and its a good experience being there.

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.
