Pros

Major growth and expansion happening, along with the accompanying opportunity for growth if you're a self-starter that is willing to work hard.

Cons

Sometimes long hours due to working with clients and interfacing with off-shore resources in India. HR & financial systems are sub-par for a company of this size. System for processing expense reports, booking travel and reporting hours are very poor and buggy (1 out of 10). The process of career path creation and management is substandard. Annual reviews are almost non-existent. Bonuses and pay raises are a mystery until they appear on your check. No rear advance communication, and therefore, not the incentive it should be. It takes way to long to process these and to book travel for consulting jobs.

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.
