I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Newark, NJ) in Feb 2024
Interview
Great interview process, clear and relaxed process. Lots of flexibility. Reasonable questions on the technical assessment, and behavioral questions were within the industry standard. Would recommend aside plenty of time to complete it, though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes you a good fit for the role here at Cognizant?
The interview began with a brief introduction and verification of documents. The first round focused on technical skills, including Java, SQL, and Selenium. I was asked to write code snippets, explain syntax, and debug sample problems. The second round involved scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving and automation strategy. The final round was an HR discussion about role expectations and company culture. Overall, the process was structured and challenging, with a strong emphasis on hands-on technical ability.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jan 2025
Interview
One interview comprising of both technical round and HR. It was overall moderate, and a highly recommended company for Engineers. I guess that is it. All questions were resume-based. It was good.
