I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (New York, NY) in Feb 2018
Interview
I was interviewed at a job fair for a total of 20 minutes. It was mostly technical and ranged from front end design to MVC and OOP, etc. They were very disorganized. Originally I was told I'd be stationed in New York, but was then asked if I was willing to move across the country or travel regularly. Myself and a friend were given low offers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain Javascript classes (are they actually classes?).
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.

Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
