Pros

Good if you're a medical professional who wants to try out the corporate world. TriZetto gives RNs a shocking amount of latitude to make business decisions.

Cons

TriZetto hires and fires executives almost seasonally - this very much trickles down to all employees, who are at constant mercy of corporate "realignment" and frequent layoffs. The venture capital owners are at odds with the company management. Strategy changes every winter, spring, summer and fall. TriZetto attempts to sell a brand of "we care about healthcare" internally and externally - this is far from the truth. Owners simply want to cut costs as much as possible, will not fund innovation and are making sure no strategic vision takes root apart from - lets sell as much of the old claims administration systems as we can, and then the venture capital fund can cash in TriZetto and move on to something else. Enter at own risk - beware of frequent layoffs. Pay and benefits are sub-par. New headquarters are not conducive to productivity - you sit in a long row of desks with little privacy in between.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
