Pros

Allow working from home or remotely

Cons

The company always talk about team work. In reality, there are no teamwork. Everyone including the management are busy throwing each other under the bus. People are afraid to speak up their mind because they get in trouble. You have to constantly put out fire and constantly CYA. It is sad that the people in your own company are working against you and not helping you to succeed.

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.
