Pros and cons of working at Cognizant Australia
Pros
Lots of resources to learn and skill up.
The culture and team environment.
The group of Graduates that I was hired along with, all from different pathways, but all very likeminded.
Work location flexibilities within Australia.
Lots of collaboration and cooperation between teams in different service lines and industries.
Cons
Tech issues and having them fixed, including firewalls and having access rejected to sites or programs.
Uncertainty in project assignment.
After training, there are times you are not sure what you will be doing in the long term, 6-12 months down the line
Progress for onboarding client project is longer than expected
Sometimes gets shuffled around projects you may not be extremely interested or experienced in (pro of this is that you learn a lot very quickly)
