      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Mar 2025

      Interview

      1st Round was the Communication Round, which was pretty easy. The second Round was the Aptitude Round. I did pretty well, so I got to move on to the interview round. So, for the GenC Role, they would mainly ask about Cloud and Network and things that you have mentioned in your resume.
