Pros

* Performance Recognition - If you perform well, you would be recognized * Management - The management is willing to give a patient hearing for your concerns. But concrete action may or may not happen :-) * Onsite Opportunities - Lots of onsite opportunities in US, UK, LATAM and APAC * Working Environment - Overall a good working environment with supportive colleagues * Flexible timings

Cons

* Resource Management - Skills of employees are not taken into consideration while mapping them to projects * Project Management - Improper risk forecasting * Package - For lateral hires, pay is higher than those who are working with same exp in Cognizant * For Campus hires, difference in pay package is very less for pass outs of different years. For example - The difference in pay for 2005 and 2006 batch is minimal

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.
