Many projects. Job security. Wide experience. Tier 1 company. Good performance review system.
Slow promotions despite of excellent rating. External talents are promoted. People who continue to perform with top ratings are not given the same despite of continued tenurity. Very very slow growth. If you leave cognizant and come back after a year, you ll get promotion
