I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cognizant in Jul 2025
Interview
Rude phone interviewer. The recruiter sounded lethargic in the entire duration of the call and the immediately hung up on me after I answered that I could not lower my asking salary. It was not a pleasant experience overall.
The interview process was well organized and structured, conducted on a separate platform featuring built in coding sections, eliminating the need for external tools or reliance on any online compiler.
