Pros

- salary in India is very good, that is if you are from a tier 1 / 2 B - school - very flexible working environment - small company culture so networking really helps

Cons

- lacks diversity - most of the senior management is tamil brahmin , its very hard to grow and opportunities to grow are limited specially if you happen to be a part of CBC (Cognizant Business consulting) - lacks getting qualified BA resources for onsite projects hence IT resources are often tagged as BA resources which results in sub standard work -

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.
