Pros

Good work life balance (depends on project) My project had latest technologies and they have tie up with Microsoft so you can take free Microsoft certifications Free Udemy access

Cons

You dont get good hikes. Better to enter here with a good salary and role. Promotion is not that easy in my project though I performed well. They say you just entered with good salary and make you wait for a good rating.

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.
