I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Jan 2016
Interview
It was a lateral hire walk-in. It was just pathetic, first round went well for me, and interviewer took for around an hour, he was satisfied and he clearly said please wait outside, you will be called for next round. I waited outside for around next 2 hours and then a clerk came with my resume and told that I can leave for the day!! This was so strange and I felt like I wasted my one day, simply. There was no feedback given and I don't know if they mis-communicated, or what happened.
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
