Pros

Gain good skills in next gen data centers.

Cons

If you were acquired don't expect your same bonus structure. We received an email bonuses would be 30 to 40% higher depending on performance but still we have seen better bonuses in the TriZetto bonus plan. Company is mostly geared toward South Indians running it. Your old management will be replaced sooner than later. US Immigration should truly investigate this company and find out why so many Americans have been replaced by H-1B holders. We used to outnumber them and now they are at least at 50% in the Englewood, CO office.

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.
