Not much technical,more focus on previous project experience and basics of the skill set mentioned are also asked.Not much preparation needed.HR negotiates alot on the salary always specify a higher amount than desired.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Nov 2015
Interview
The hiring and interview process was very smooth.
The panel and the Recruiter were both very helpful and pleasant to talk to.
Overall, a good experience.
Initially I had a telephonic round.
Post clearing the telephonic round, I was called to the Cognizant office for a face-to-face discussion.
The questions varied from the basic to a few advanced topics relating to customisations.
