Pros

This is an organization that rewards the aggressive and the go-getter. Accommodates the employee geographical locational needs / preferences to a very great extent. If you ever look to go back to India and currently in the US, this is the company to be with.

Cons

On consultancy front Cognizant is growing into that space very recently, and is focused on consulting assignments only recently. Even though it tries to go into the turfs of Accenture and IBM, it is still not there. And the software delivery DNA is not easy to tailor to consulting mind-set very easily. Pay may not be the best in class too.

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.
