I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant in Jun 2025
Interview
First was an online Communication Assessment in which I had to record answers to questions in English. I got a few retries per question for recording the answers.
I had to install a software which would monitor my whole pc to appear for the assessment. I was not allowed to use my pc for the duration of the assessment.
Second was an online Aptitude Assessment with similar format as previous assessment. MCQ questions which had to be attempted on a software that monitors my pc.
Third was an online Interview.
Many different categories of questions were asked by the interviewer like aptitude, math, SQL, python, my goals, my work ethics, my work preferences etc.
The interviewer also informed me of the business unit I was being interviewed for.
Since then, there has been no response from the recruiter on whether or not I cleared the interview or not.
Months have passed and I have no expectations of them ever responding.
