      Pros

      Free access to learning platforms like Udemy and the Cognizant Academy makes it a great launching pad for beginners. Work-Life Balance (WLB): Generally favorable, though highly dependent on your specific project and manager.

      Cons

      Lower Starting Pay: Base salaries for freshers and entry-level employees are often considered below industry standards compared to some competitors.

      Pros

      Fun internship program, they paid for a trip to their office in Colorado as well. The team worked hard to put together activities for us.

      Cons

      I wish my project was more tailored to me or helpful for my future.
