Pros

Unlimited PTO, remote capabilities but that soon may be going away. A lot of smart colleagues onshore and some offshore as well.

Cons

Big restructuring that will negatively impact US based employees. Attitude that US based employees are expendable and that they can merely plug in an offshore resource to do the same job when health plan industry and intimate software knowledge has been mostly developed by US long term employees. Clients already complain a lot about the lack of knowledge and accountability of offshore workers.

To clarify the comment regarding unlimited PTO, it was announced on September 22nd that the unlimited PTO policy is staying intact for all current TriZetto employees. Also, we implemented a Flexible Work Arrangement policy in the Spring to allow for more flexibility for employees to work remotely.

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.
