Vantaggi

(I completely agree with the first poster "Headed in the Wrong Direction". it's as if I was going to write that whole thing myself. The unlimited PTO is the only thing keeping me here right now and the ability to work from home occasionally. Trizetto was a great company and then Cognizant bought it and it's been going downhill quickly.

Svantaggi

In addition to the Cons that "Headed in the Wrong Direction" wrote, I would add that the lack of accountability, goes beyond just that. I'm constantly getting "I'm doing this because my team told me to do it" without thought for if it makes sense. I've never worked in a company before where people forward 300 message long emails to other people asking them to "take care of this", but don't provide a summary or any real direction. The outsourced teams are the worst. They can't make decisions for themselves. This wouldn't be too much of an issue, if I wasn't woken up all hours of the night by the offshore team who can't 1) figure out how to solve a problem so they have 2) contacted me when I'm clearly not the person who can solve their problem. If they had a culture of empowerment and respect, the offshore team would be able to figure out the problems before waking us up without a reason to!

Vantaggi

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Svantaggi

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
