Cognizant is very good MNC with offices over lots of cities in India with multiple campuses in cities like Pune, Chennai, Banglore, etc. Good policies, culture, work-life balance, job security are few of the many perks which we generally get in any typical MNC.

Salary - Good

It's very difficult to get promotion and good salary hike even though you are the best in your job. Work related things are totally subjective to the type of project you get which is true for all companies, so can't comment there. Almost NO on-site opportunities.
