Pros

Relocation benefits at onsite compared to peers are good. Other than that nothing really.

Cons

* Pay is pathetic at onsite. * Promotion - Only if you are a Brahmin (north/south) * Management - They treat you like you are their unbonded slave. * Work - Company should stick with doing QA, they are pathetic in other domains. * Work & Life balance - NOPE forget it. Nightly calls Kills you and the Account Manager will expect you to be at work by 8.00 AM. * Work Culture - Highly political, ass licking / boot licking guys will survive. * Not a place for people with brains.

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.
