Pros

I can't find any, maybe only one - good coffee machine.

Cons

The quality of management is really bad. The managers and leads without qualifications and experience at all. No support, no motivation, no professionalism. If you are more qualified than your Lead or Manager you will have some problems. Action Plans is an easy practice there, you can have some Action Plans without a reason, just because your manager wants to block you and have a reason to stop your contract. No flexible working time. Bad communication No respect

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.
