Pros

employee friendly good hr policy team work formal culture growth

Cons

working environment flexibility working hours insecurity time duration The economic recession is forcing more executives to consider employment opportunities with small shops after working at large corporations. While there are advantages to moving to a small shop, realize that it might not be the best choice for all executives. Understand where you're at in your career. When you identify what challenges you face as well as what resources you're willing to give up, you can more easily make the transition to a small shop and thrive.

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.
