I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Jun 2022
Interview
There were 2 rounds of technical interview and 1 HR round.
That's it, and in HR round they will ask to share all the documents maximum by next EOD, and then they will ghosted and won't bother at all to respond to your follow up emails.
This is expected from HR of Cognizant and they proved my expectation true.
