Pros

Work/life balance, onsite opportunities, easy job transitions, learning opportunities. Work/life balance is good, atleast in the US. Onsite opportunities are ample, and the company is really growing, its good to be part of it. I have had the opportunity to work in multiple varied technologies, without too much trouble. Gives me a balanced perspective on technology. However, it is said that there is a move to make employees trained vertically more than horizontally. I guess that would lead to loss of this balanced perspective in the future. There is also a vast online library that comes in handy if you are interested.

Cons

Opaque middle management, mainly around performance, hikes and perks. General direction of the company is provided by the top management.

Pros

It was a much needed check in a time of need

Cons

Management seemed uneducated. I dnt know about cognizant as a whole but their eligibility department needs help. They focus on the things that do no matter. They were at risk of losing this contract, so now it’s whatever they client says, they do…no push back including making us do disability cases, that we had no previous knowledge of. In the beginning I was getting OT like crazy. Then they stopped it talking about it wasn’t in there budget, and at times when we needed someone to work/stay late. They are not consistent and the other employees there, are looking for other positions, too. Not to mention, myself and another employee were the only ones there for the longest. It’s a mess.
