Pros

I have only been a part of the organization a little while and have yet to see any pros.

Cons

Toxic Culture driven by a top down I’m know more than you attitude. Which makes it obvious that it is also very Top Heavy with a comically unjustified ineptitude towards aligning on new initiatives. Need to take our own advice and implement digital transformation internally. The silos are huge and unwarranted. On boarding you are left to fend for yourself, any questions you are made to open a ticket with IT for. Counter intuitive process which heavily weighs down the streamlining of anything.

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.
