Pros

Consistent work in the Healthcare vertical.

Cons

Cognizant is consistently pushing to move as much work as possible to India and leave as few employees in the US as possible. It became increasingly difficult- almost impossible- to move upwards if you are a US employee without the desired "background." Opportunities are routinely made available to Indian associates only, even when promised to US employees as well ("it's not in our US team budget after all.") Levels of bureaucracy have been introduced making it increasingly difficult- almost impossible- for employees/processors to simply complete basic everyday tasks. (When someone creates a bot to help employees log into everything they need to log into or when you literally have to open a ticket to get approval to open a ticket, a line has been crossed. Also, favoritism trickles down from the top, with each successive layer down playing favorites.

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.
