Good Place to Start out or Get Back Into an IT Career in the US
Pros
Good place to start out or get back into an IT career in the US Health benefits - good choice and low cost Generous paid leave with vacation, sick, jury & bereavement categories Lots of training & positions with travel available Work at client sites that include many Fortune 100 corps and household name tech companies
Cons
Compensation is below average for most positions (the ones that actually bring in the revenue) Bureaucratic & confusing review & promotion practices Pay raises are based on subjective, esoteric and nonsensical parameters instead of performance Industry leading turnover per position Industry & client experience has been a mixed bag with Cognizant, some prefer to put client site as our experience rather than Cog on our resume. Lives up to all the stereotypes in "If you can't do, teach, and if you're totally clueless, manage."
