Pros

Got campus recruited, so its my first window to the Corporate world. Good on job training and Academy.

Cons

No planning from management what so ever. They can not forecast any risk.. Lay hands on what ever comes to their way. In spite of repeated cautions on implementation/skills/infrastructure issues, they dig up their graves and make engineers pay for it.They don't want to try some thing new, others are doing it this way so you do :)))

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.
