      Cognizant Malvern is like being back in High School just as immature and clicky

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The leadership is too busy playing around with their BFFS that they will never no if you are working or not.

      Cons

      -Girls Club ( if you are not in the inner circle then you don't matter) -I had 2 bosses there in my 10 year tenure that had extra marital affairs with subordinate employees. -Drinking to excess on the job is acceptable -HR non existent (they do not even office in the Malvern,PA Location) -Sr. Leadership who started at the Malvern location have wives who run competing agencies. (Can you say conflict of interest?) - In my tenure I have seen "inner circle" employees not show up for work for over 6 months. Then waltz back in the door like nothing ever happened. -The Malvern office is a bad high school party and it should come to an end.

      Okay job

      Qa automation engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is okay for 1st job outta college. Obviously not google level 60k with benefits. You get job experience and a signing bonus which. You can use to job hop a year later if you choose. They paid us instead of laying us off during the pandemic and its a solid company that never did wrong by me.

      Cons

      Terrible mentorship if you end up as a QA you will be doing manual testing most likely. You get to interview for projects but there isnt any structure for newer hires they just throw you into it. Its super stressful to work as a “contractor” when you arent sure if a project is going to end. You might have to move super far away which is unfeasible sometimes. Horrible place to grow your skillset. Good luck trying to switch from QA to anything else its all up to whoever your manager is.

      Avoid at all Costs, a Nightmare

      Senior systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      none, maybe one week they paid me what they should have, out of 12 months.

      Cons

      The entire process from onboarding to finish was just a nightmarish flaw. The managers try to scam you out of your paychecks, pile unbelievable and unworkable amounts of work on you and constantly berate anyone even though they're working at breakneck speed trying to accomplish the riciculous goals set by a clueless management. Such a clicquey crowd there. No on ever introduced me to anybody and my job duties kept changing on a daily basis. As I accomplished one thing, I was berated on not accomplishing the other after I was specifically told not to. Currently going through the attorney general's office to try to be reimbursed for weeks and weeks of pay that was never given to me. Just a nightmare. Don't ever deal with Cognizant.
