Pros

COGNIZANT USA is a good company but was created to provide jobs for INDIANS not AMERICANS, the majority in the company are Indians, company is a hub to import Indian labor to US, not fair for sure, so if you are a original American not Indian forget about Cognizant they will not hire you, also if they hire you, you will not last for long, job security for Americans is pretty low at Cognizant, they have a deployment pool for projects but if after a month you don`t find a project they will let you go.

Cons

Already explained in the PROS, USA department of labor needs to regulate more the gap for Indian positions, so far in USA they are too many, and also with very poor degree from India not comparable to USA universities.

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.
