It all depends on the project. Some projects have excellent wor-life balance and take things slow.

If the client is good, Cognizant is good. They offered good salary when hired and when promoted. Udemy and Coursera access for free. Even if we get no work for a month or more, they hold you in the project before releasing you to bench.

When the client is bad, so is Cognizant. Getting release from your manager is tough. All the above factors depends on the clients employees get.
