Pros

Most coworkers are actually talented Has the potential to be a better company but...See Cons

Cons

Some people are in positions they are not qualified for Some people will completely step on you to get ahead, basically poor team players TOO many meetings (still had no effect on the poor software quality) Development and QA are silos Management need to be replaced, most lost touch with reality (job title means nothing if you shouldn't be in that position to begin with)

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.
