Pros

It's near some good restaurants in Austin for doing to after work. That's really about it.

Cons

The New CEO is trying to save money by removing the current contracting firm Cognizant, and replacing them with lower paid full time employees, and contractors from Infosys. This has lead to 3 major issues: A) Around 90% of the IT jobs are filled by Cognizant. As a result, Conduent is losing all that experience at once. Anyone, who takes a job here, will be basically having to learning there job in a very short time without much documentation, and limited training. B) As Conduent is trying to get people in the door, they are lying about on call. I was told, during the interview, that I would be on call once every 16 weeks. After I took the job, I was told it would be once every 3 weeks. C) As Conduent is trying to get people in the door, they are lying about the amount of vacation time. In the offer letter, it was written 2 weeks vacation time (which is really quite bad for a white collar IT job). After I took the job, I was told that it's not 2 weeks vacation time. It's 2 weeks vacation/sick time. YOU DON'T GET ANY SICK TIME. ANY SICK DAYS EAT INTO YOUR TINY 2 WEEKS OF VACATION!

Pros

Work from home , convenient

Cons

The way they fire you for no reason; and than block you from emailing them, messaging them or anything without warning! I worked there for 2 years and I had asked to switch supervisors , because the new one I had was very rude and put down everyone. Well the week after I asked to be moved; shelve wrote me up 3 times in one week, which is cause for termination. One of the writeups was because she said I should have offered a customer an email at the end of the call! They are scandalous and I would not recommend to anyone to work for them. If the client: who’s name starts with an A and ends in with E… should not tolerate they way they are representing them!
