Pros

Few extremely knowledgable team members, great learning opportunity.

Cons

Pathetic management who do not value employees. Refuse leave irrespective of how genuine the request is. Lots of favoritism. Don't give people equal opportunity. Managers are technically incompetent and try to impress clients by stealing team's ideas and presenting as their own, dissing the employees when they ask questions. Just run as far away as you can from this company!!!!

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.
