Pros

- Learn new technologies. - Travel to different places and locations. - Travel is paid most of the time. - Sometimes you get a good manager.

Cons

- Hard to get promoted and get your salary structure revised. - The company is very offshore-driven and seems to care more about its Indian employees than any other. - Management is not supportive of your career development plans. They will keep you in a project even when you don't want to be there.

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.
