Pros

Good employee satisfaction. Good knowledge management initiatives throughout the organization. Drive for innovation initiatives.

Cons

Onsite opportunities restrictions for new joinees. Employee satisfaction varies within organization for different clients so if you are lucky u are in a good account you would be happy else your response could be extreme if u are stuck with poor paying client. Lots of redundant processes for middle layer management through cognizant developed reporting portals. Not the best of the processes being implemented everywhere!!

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.
