Pros
Not sure if its a good thing, but they offer permanent contract.
Cons
Cognizant assumed the Google Maps project from CPL and Manpower (another vendors). Basically they took ‘hell’ and they are managing to make it worse - yes, it is still getting worse, in a weekly basis. As soon as they assumed, they did some meetings promising a lot of good changes, speaking a lot of awesome things about them. It turned out they were not good guys at all. First thing they did was to cut out the food provided, decrease the amount of snacks. After that, they implemented their system, which is buggy and useless. They know its buggy but they said they won’t fix it and we have to get used to it. Now, they are already cracking the whip, pushing us to work harder and harder. Its now harder to get holidays approved, no paid sick days, no pension scheme, no benefits, nothing. Last, but not least, in the next months they will ‘review’ the bonus system, in other words, either cut it or decrease it.
