Great at first - but stress brought out peoples true colors - Account Principal Contino Employee Review

Very high turnover at the AP/Director level. Most AP's did not stay more than a year even before Cognizant's acquisition. The US team's growth failed to meet expectations and was integrated into the parent company as a result. Leadership fostered a backstabbing culture at the executive level that exacerbated as the US region of the company was integrated into Cognizant. Cognizant's staff augmentation approach to consulting was incompatible with Contino's entrepreneurial culture. Eventually the team was crushed with only a few shattered remnants remaining. I was surprised and dismayed to see the entire leadership team going at each other's throats in the end, eventually resulting in most leaving or being let go. A very sad end to what originally had very high potential.
