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

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.
