Pros

Good Company based on flexibility like hybrid and flexible work from Home options ( the project i worked)

Cons

No timely compensation increase has been implemented for Employees below Directors. Even appropriate communication will not be sent for delayed yearly compensation increase. Also, mostly this increase will happen in every September and that become a practice and NO arrears will be paid effective April 1st. High risk in Job security for senior level and leadership roles. Sometimes we could see our leaders are moving out without any information that creates hopeless situations for the team members. Also, these cons on Job security were latest from August 2024 to until I left in August 2025. before that compensation issue persists from 2022.

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.
