Pros

Good if you're a medical professional who wants to try out the corporate world. TriZetto gives RNs a shocking amount of latitude to make business decisions.

Cons

TriZetto hires and fires executives almost seasonally - this very much trickles down to all employees, who are at constant mercy of corporate "realignment" and frequent layoffs. The venture capital owners are at odds with the company management. Strategy changes every winter, spring, summer and fall. TriZetto attempts to sell a brand of "we care about healthcare" internally and externally - this is far from the truth. Owners simply want to cut costs as much as possible, will not fund innovation and are making sure no strategic vision takes root apart from - lets sell as much of the old claims administration systems as we can, and then the venture capital fund can cash in TriZetto and move on to something else. Enter at own risk - beware of frequent layoffs. Pay and benefits are sub-par. New headquarters are not conducive to productivity - you sit in a long row of desks with little privacy in between.

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.
