Pros

You gain knowledge on TriZetto's software systems that you can use at other completing consulting firms when you leave. You also build relationships with multiple clients that allow you to do work for them after leaving TriZetto. I just gave my two weeks notice to TriZetto and look forward to a blighter future.

Cons

I have been at TriZetto for 3 years. The following are actual facts I personally witnessed and experienced during that time. This company has a High Turnover Rate. The employees are the most unprofessional I have ever worked with. Consultants showing up on client site with khaki pants and a colored t-shirt or plain colored short sleeve shirt = very unprofessional. I always wear a suit. If you are a good employee, great at your job, with great client relationship skills, you will ALWAYS be billable/Full-Time on client site with weekly travel Sunday through last flight out on Friday and NEVER ALLOWED to take PTO. This is NOT a Work-Life Balance company for good employees. Those employees who are mediocre get to reap the benefits of those who are outstanding employees. The mediocre employees get to take frequent PTO and have an enormous amount of bench time/free time. For the good employees, the hours are extensive, often working 60 - 70+ hours per week, not including travel time. The good employees often work on multiple projects simultaneously while the mediocre employees once again are on PTO or sitting on the bench not working at all. Promotions are not based on work, client satisfaction, or metrics being met. They are solely promoted on a "favorites" basis by management only. There were several promoted within TriZetto that DON'T even have ANY Healthcare Background or even a slight inclination of how their own health insurance works, let alone what an EOB is.

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.
