I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Kolkata) in Dec 2011
Interview
Telephone interviews with multiple levels of hiring representatives. Asked basic process and behavioral type questions. Since I was being an experienced hire, the interview questions were more related to specific DWH project. I had 1 HR and 1 Technical Interview, which was well planned and scheduled. The whole process took 1 weeks time, from scheduling to accepting offer. Very friendly and polite interviewers.
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
