Pros

Earlier (2 or 3 ) years back there was good work life balance. Good pay hike for laterals.

Cons

Salary hike poor for existing employees. Management bias present. Currently there is less work life balance. Talented employees are not recognized. There is no freedom of movement within projects in the organization. There is bias and favoritism in appraisal.

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.
