Pros

If you do your job, you will keep it. Pay was always on time. Working from home (limited).

Cons

Mandatory working on holidays and weekends as per the project's needs. Salaries were too low for the type of stress and long shifts that we needed to do. At the end, I was handling a team of 20 people that had better positions and better salaries than me, with no recognition whatsoever. That's why I decided to leave.

Cognizant Argentina

Business Outlook

Pros

• Some flexibility with timetable, as long as you are 9 hours (or more) in there. • Salary: not particularly high being 1/3 of what you can earn for the same job in other countries but it is double of what I would I have earned in my career at entry level. • Events: for people who likes this kind of things there are a lot of afters, parties and birthdays that are celebrated and the company pays all of it.

Cons

• Productivity is based on number of hours and silly number of cases that do not reflect the real work involved. • Software platforms seem to be from windows 96 despite claiming to be a technological company. • Useless trainings that seem to be a pull in the leg. • Some people treat you bad and unrespectfully just because of hierarchy. This is something pretty common of porteños. I have worked in 1 star places so I can tell the difference. Places that haven't paid me and where I was just a slave for my employers. Among the job opportunities there are here in Argentina, Cognizant is one of the best options. At least, as far as I know. However, taking into account the Argentinian economy, it is evident that I had to choose the best of the worst that regretfully this country has to offer. With this I want to make clear that this is far from being an idyllic job but it is a good place to start.
