First round was with HR, who was only interested in saying the package they are offering. They do not have any idea on what is the market standard. Technical round was absolute waste of time.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant
Interview
It was ok; interview taken by a VP. First hour was more of a behavioral interview, followed an hour of technical questions. Most questions were standard, interviewer was friendly but probed further on a few points.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cognizant (London, England) in Jan 2015
Interview
2 step interview process with a 1:1 interview lasting 1.5 hour and then a task based work. The interview panel was my manager & a senior manager. Also the last round was with HR, where we discussed salary etc.
