Pros

Since many of the employees are fresh recruits from colleges, the environment is bubbly and enthusiastic. It is good for entry level and high level senior professionals. You get to work with some of the best clients in the world. The technology direction of the company is good. One of the high growth player in the industry among peers. Good brand image.

Cons

Mid level employees rarely do see any growth in the career. Huge competition for onsite positions and heavy lobbying. The salary is just average inclining lower compared to its peer. The HR policies When trying to rejoin the org are ridiculous in this center.

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.
