Pros

The salaries were competitive with the industry.

Cons

First two years were amazing as the people were friendly and all levels of management were approachable. All of this changed once Jeff Margolis left his position as CEO, as then the entire company just became chaotic and absolutely no one was sure if they had a position from one day to the next. Constant "re-organization" as we were always told. This place to work became a sharks den, as people started to turn against each other and then with a lot of new staff people were frustrated with a lot of folks needing to be trained so the vacant positions also became yours along with your own. Morale was at its lowest point, management in a state of a mess. Well hey though, just think of the new offices...lol. I have since been contacted by numerous recruiters asking me to take a position with Trizetto and I must say I would rather work for Mc Donald's.

Pros

Promotes great flexibility with hybrid work options that support a healthy personal life. Fosters a collaborative environment where team members and management genuinely support your success.

Cons

Varies by project, meaning your workload heavily depends on the client you are assigned to.

Pros

None, run dont even consider them

Cons

"India-first mentality." The company says it wants to work with people across the Americas and Europe, but many decisions still seem to follow an Indian way of operating without properly considering local labor laws, regulations, and workplace expectations. There are serious concerns about job stability. The company frequently praises itself for creating employment opportunities, but at the same time, it appears to be bringing more employees from India into U.S. roles while letting go of people from the Americas and Europe who have contributed to the company. This creates uncertainty and raises questions about the company's commitment to its existing workforce. Every meeting seems to be focused on AI : AI this, AI that, AI everywhere. Employees are constantly asked to complete AI related training and adapt to AI initiatives, while at the same time letting people go so they can afford AI. Compensation is another area that needs improvement. After my contributions and time with the company, my last salary increase was only $20, which felt extremely discouraging and showed a lack of appreciation for employees' efforts.
