Pros

Absolutely nothing: full slavery for peanuts!!!

Cons

- They pay peanuts - No Relocation Package for people coming from abroad. You have to find your accommodation, open the bank account and go to the public offices for opening the fiscal code ALONE. - They pay the cafeteria vouchers after 3 months. But normally we eat every day, not after 3 months - They keep hiring africans and fresh graduated people, because they are cheap. It does not matter if they hire monkeys!!! - You will be just a call taker: the second level is in India, the management is in India, your life depends from India. But we are in European Union or not? - There are just a couple of Spanish and Italians caming from abroad. All the rest are Hungarians, African and Indians. - It is a BPO company: because of Cognizant people from West Europe are without jobs, because the salary in Hungary is 1/3 of West Europe, so everybody offshores in Cognizant. This is not legal, also because everything that counts is in India. In Budapest they have just call takers. - You will take 40 calls per day, and you will work for several projects at the same time. The clients don't know such horrible policy. - You don't have the time to troubleshoot, because they give the limit of 10 minutes per call. - No career. You will die as call taker.

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.
