Pros

Work for Cognizant if you're great at managing ambiguity and can navigate your way through a system based on exceptions rather than policy and supportive infrastructure. The best thing is that you can probably move around a little more easily than a company with a firm structure in place.

Cons

Since the company grew exponentially over the years, there is no infrastructure to illustrate career path, growth, or even accurate performance management. Expect little feedback on how you're doing until you get slapped with your evaluation at the end of the year.

Good for opportunity, and get good exposure towards new work and responsibilities. Also a good option for onsite opportunities, with good pay options.

Cons

growth with payscale is not in sync, and also not good option for people who want to stay in India and earn good perks.
