Pros

You get good opportunities to grow in early stages. In my case I have done my digital honors in my first year and received hike of 50% moving from genc to genc next. Work is smooth if tou are in right direction you will learn lot from projects. Yo get opportunities to participate in external certification programs.

Cons

Some projects have tight deadlines and less resources which leads to bad system design. Annual hikes are so less and work culture is not upto mark even compared to other service based companies.

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.
