Pros

If you are in India and want to get out of there, this place is good.

Cons

Everything else is terrible - people are recruited with no proper screening and quality of employees sucks. Almost everyone has a sense of entitlement, esp. people coming from no name enginnering colleges and getting placed because these companies hire indiscriminately. They cannot string together complete sentences in english without making grammatical mistakes. The only people with more than 10 yrs work ex that are left here are people who cannot make it elsewhere. this is one of the companies where people stop coding and move on to excel sheets as soon as they become a team lead. Pathetic - no talent at middle levels.

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.
