Cognizant

" Consider taking on remote positions that offer better work-life balance "

"This pertains to the Healthcare Insurance vertical: I wouldn't say Cognizant has been any better for women to work for than most other companies. Being able to work from home allows a lot of flexibility in some ways, but not in the actual business hours, especially below a certain level. A lot of flexibility exists here for certain people. For other people, the flexibility just isn't there, and at times it becomes painfully obvious when you see some people taking A LOT of time off while you are discouraged from taking time. The official corporate policies are very forward looking and inclusive of diversity. However, after a while here, it is obvious the career path forward is much easier and much faster for some people than for others, especially after our smaller company was acquired by Cognizant. Moving forward and upward is possible to a point, and then there seems to be a roadblock. This is not based on gender, but other "diversity" factors. Lastly, in my many years of working for this company, I have never actually felt job security. There have been constant large and small-scale workforce reductions in the North America side of the equation. CONSTANT. "

"Yes, with work-life balance in cognizant, its best for women"

"Very limited career growth in terms of role change after few years in to the current role. No promotions either."

"It is good place to learn a lot since they are still operating like a start up with almost 300,000 people, but some of the expectations are unrealistic and there is little support provided. "
