Cognizant being a large organization everyone has different experience in the company. In my case I was lucky to have a good Manager and lucky to get great projects to work on which keep you motivated and engaged. Job security seems relatively low and salary is decent.
Dislikes
Leave policy is quite bad, the people who are really engaged with their project don't take leaves at all. This is not carried forward or encashed which is quite disappointing to see.

Company culture is good at very high level .. that’s why it’s make big numbers every year. Teammates are good. Career growth options are there but it depends upon the time devotion which can cause work life balance. Job security is there if you are an average resource .
Dislikes
US On-site opportunities are less now a days. It can only come if you are a senior associate .. senior associate level promotions are also hard now a days .it take almost 9-10 years . Salary is also not that good .. for people at on-site , health insurance in India is given for base cover . That is also very low .promotion at on-site is also rare .
Work Details
Most of the days boring with a rare glimpse of excitement

Compensation is approximately better than other IT Giants.
Dislikes
Work culture not good. Maintains a manager pleasing environment.
Difficult to learn new technologies as interests are not considered.
Although a 9 hour shift, 9 is just a number and a person is only rewarded if he stretches till late night.
