Pros

Before Cognizant took over, TriZetto was a great place to work, with bright minds, new ideas and high levels of talent all across the board. This has unfortunately dissipated since integration.

Cons

Since integration, it has been a sinking ship, with long serving employees leaving and others being “benched” and eventually laid off due to Cognizant’s heavy outsourcing while there is no backfilling due to Cognizant’s “policy.” This has led to an atrocious work/life balance for everyone still left and nobody from Cognizant seems to care. There is zero regard for employee satisfaction.

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
