Pros

Great work life balance, Performance pays on most occasion especially when there is a feel good industry factor

Cons

No opportunity to perform high end consulting, No well defined technical career path, PM Career path is the default option if you want to grow in Cognizant, however it will not give you the true PM roles and responsiblities unless you work from offshore.

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.
