Pros

I have gained a lot of experience working for very large companies such as At&t, Comcast, Verizon, etc in many different areas. I have led large and small groups of people in my work there. I have been able to work from home.

Cons

Performance reviews and promotions are based solely on the person managing the project. Depending on how that person rate's people's performance or interprets the ratings you may not be promoted or receive a good bonus despite your actual performance. Cognizant's salaries do are not competetive with other comparative consulting firms.

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.
