Pros

Very large array of e-training is available Work-from-home Mostly left alone to do my job

Cons

I was at a company that was under 1000 people that was bought up by Softvision (which is part of Cognizant). Not only did Softvision have a horrible time integrating my former company into itself, Softvision isn't truly integrated with Cognizant. I went from a company where the CEO and most of the C-level folks knew everyone's name. In my case, the CEO and C-level folks knew me personally because of my roles in the company over time. At Cognizant Softvision I wouldn't even consider myself a cog in the machine, people like me are more like the grease between the cogs in the machine. And in many ways, that is the way it would have to be for a company with +300k people. Being told our reviews and raises are going to be delayed six months because Softvision is finally integrating with Cognizant.

This saddens us to see from a current employee, as we truly care about each of our Collabies. We encourage you to share your feedback with your manager, and even leadership, as it is always our goal to listen, answer questions, and calm concerns you may have, especially about Collaborative joining the Cognizant family of companies. We hope that in doing so, you’ll see that there is a clear direction that includes great opportunities for our Collabie family. Thank you.
