Pros

Work like balance is relatively good. Global travel opportunities. If you are a native Tamil, then prospects are very good. Over time processes, have matured and HR Finance and other systems are good.

Cons

Too many employees from Tamil Nadu. Employees lack quality education and communication skills are usually bad. Over time these employees have become managers who don't have quality training in management. Pay is low. Now when the clients are more demanding, managers keep failing miserably. Many are scared to move off due to deterioration on technical skills over time.

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.
