I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderabad)
Interview
Pretty straight forward. 3 rounds of interview- One by immediate manager, followed by one of the Directors and then by HR. The position was a jr to mid managerial role and so did not face much challenges - especially since I had a fairy decent MBA and credentials in working in investment banking domain.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Richmond, VA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Questions on specific skill set for EDI transactions. Questions on my history with Healthcare applications. Questions on SDLC and writing requirements. Questions on my history with Medicaid claims. Interview was a little less formal. It went very well.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2011
Interview
I reached out to the Business Unit head via LinkedIn. The interview was quiet simple. Interview was based on communication skills and aptitude to grasp the business offerings. I had to talk to a couple of key members of his team, both onsite and offshore, to make sure I could work well with them.
