Pros

There is good work life balance, and there are excellent opportunities for professional growth. Appraisal process is largely dependent on how much influence your immediate supervisor has with the senior management and HR.

Cons

There is absolutely no parity in the compensation offered and industry standards. Loyalty is not rewarded. Employees who stick around for 3 years get only a few thousands more than freshers.

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.
