Pros

** Please do not think I am writing below things out of just frustration, It is reality** IF you are not from south India- You are doomed !! Management is from South India and they always ( I MEAN ALWAYS ) Have their favorites from their community , State, Town, facial features , Girls, you just name it. If you do not know Tamil/Telgu , You are done. I have spent my prime time here and was never got promoted, because ( YES) just because I am not from the prime people of south India. Few of them can just hate you because you think Hindi should be the national language of India. Disclaimer - There are few very nice human beings I met from south India ( holds true for north as well but wanted to mention - you don't think I hate south India).

Cons

Stand In front of mirror and face yourself, and try to face your kids with the same face. And say to them be honest , If you can say that to them, I am wrong, or be ashamed on yourself.

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.
