Pros

Good amount of freedom to air one's views, collaborate. Very good executive management...good amount of growth and highly satisfied customers. They aim high, we do reasonably well. Great focus on ITI, BPO and Consulting; Global Delivery and great customer relationships are a good reason to join Cognizant.

Cons

Pay wise average especially in niche skills area. No stocks for new comers all the old guys are sitting pretty with stocks in millions and therefore dont leave, the newer ones could be paid better. Avoid Chennai, official language tamil, else in other places reasonably okie

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.
