Pros

1. Not that much of work pressure. 2. I thought for like 10 mins, cant find any other point rather than point number 1.

Cons

I have been working in level Assoicate (Sr. Software Developer) for since I joined CTS and still after 5 plus years I am in the same level. My freind who has exactly the same number of Days as expeiernce (9 years) has now joined CTS as Manager but I am still awiting for my term to get promoted to Senior Associate Level ( Teach Lead) after that it comes Manager Position. This shows how they treat their existing employees. They might give you a hnadsome pay at the time of joining but later you are on GODs hands, if luckily by any chance you get onsite then good else you will have to get satisified with the false promises made my your managers. So I can List down the Cons to points as 1. NO PROMOTION 2. HIKES par below Market Standard. (My Current Package is less than No of years Experience) 3. Works on Technolgies that are from Stone Age.( They will emphasise everyone get certfied on Cloud like AWS, Azure or Google but on reality you have to work on same outdated projects, even if you get certfied). In Summary if you have only got one offer then join CTS else its better to join any other companies.

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.
