Pros

Good insurance, Good Parking, and Nice golf view.

Cons

Ever since new CEO, there were mass of middle management termination and incremental laid off started causing insecure career and much more rampant silo with knowledge sharing. It basically became, Indian culture oriented company with very little tolerance of US culture open door policy. Especially in engineering side with tight iron-fisted micromanagement with pigeon holed, no innovation but do your tasks only style management. No career advancement communication, no promotion opportunity, not even any salary increase, no incremental PTO earning whatsoever. Pretty much dead end career with just do your tasks and keep your mouth shut. If you there are heavy snow so difficult to commute in, too bad. Be at the office and do your tasks anyway. Not even stupid holiday event catered in event. Total cost saving only company with nothing but strive for achieving Billion dollar company goal oriented company.

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.
