      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Big budgets, nice facilities, generally nice people and good pay

      Cons

      Culture run by fear, not much Emotional Intelligence. Don't care much for their employees unless you are a favorite.

      Cognizant acquisition has been by far the worst experience - leadership seems clueless/helpless

      Supervisor

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For exempt, unlimited PTO, casual dress (jeans), pretty solid work/life balance I wish I had more to rave about but it is pretty mediocre at best, definitely nothing to write home about. Feels like people here are pretty much content or maybe just fatigued with how disorganized we are and the state of affairs we are in so it doesn't seem like anyone is fighting to change (this is not a pro, just filling up the character space). The PTO is pretty much the big pro and you can wear jeans.

      Cons

      I can't begin to describe how horrendous the Cognizant acquisition has been - the communication has been abhorrent, nobody in our part of the business (i.e., TriZetto) had any clue what's going on - nobody knows where to get information from or who to contact for answers, we are literally left to fumble through new systems and processes without any explanation or understanding of how to use them. Not exaggerating, we just went 4 months without being able to hire a single person because nobody (including our CEO and senior executives) had a clue how to push requisitions through all of the approval processes. It really has been so disappointing and honestly feels like we're on an island because there is no one available to support our company. All of the IT support is in India so you can't understand anything over the phone, it's just a mess.

      Good Experience

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Major corporation with lots of infrastructure support, like HR and Benefits

      Cons

      It's all about the engagement to which you are assigned. If you are not Indian, be prepared to be treated differently
