Pros

I got paid to do nothing but two training projects that last 2-3 months each in the span of 14 months.

Cons

say they care in big meetings but don't actually care when it comes person to person. Have to basically get hired while working there to get on a client project. have 5 weeks to get on a project when there is no work to get. They don't care about you. No one to talk to. Management is a joke. No learning experience. No guidance. No growth. over employed with no work I don't see this company lasting or making a good name for itself.

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.
