      Pros

      None at all to be jotted.

      Cons

      Extremely unethical in every aspect of professionalism. Does not comply with even what the management & Human Resources promises in writing. I have several proofs . No matter how many appreciations you get from end-client, eventually you will not be able to get a good rating until you get into the political & filthy games. Upper Management is more race and region oriented , extremely biased towards new joiners. Even after several escalations and showing proof of political games, no one listens and eventually the resource is targetted with horrible rating. Extremely unrealistic in expectations, the higher management is non technical and will expect to derive E=mc2 every month without proper training or time.

      Pros

      Gain good skills in next gen data centers.

      Cons

      If you were acquired don't expect your same bonus structure. We received an email bonuses would be 30 to 40% higher depending on performance but still we have seen better bonuses in the TriZetto bonus plan. Company is mostly geared toward South Indians running it. Your old management will be replaced sooner than later. US Immigration should truly investigate this company and find out why so many Americans have been replaced by H-1B holders. We used to outnumber them and now they are at least at 50% in the Englewood, CO office.

      Was great until Cognizant took over

      Pros

      Before Cognizant took over, TriZetto was a great place to work, with bright minds, new ideas and high levels of talent all across the board. This has unfortunately dissipated since integration.

      Cons

      Since integration, it has been a sinking ship, with long serving employees leaving and others being “benched” and eventually laid off due to Cognizant’s heavy outsourcing while there is no backfilling due to Cognizant’s “policy.” This has led to an atrocious work/life balance for everyone still left and nobody from Cognizant seems to care. There is zero regard for employee satisfaction.
