I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jan 2016
Interview
Attended Walk in for PL/SQL. Arrangements for interview is poor. Waited up to 3pm for my interviewer call though interview started at 9am. Only 2 rounds of interview.. Technical is very easy and we just need to be sure with our answers. HR round is nothing that much. You just have 2 options either to accept their package or decline and leave. No option for bargaining(May be in my case). Offer letter generation took hardly 3 months.. No point of contact to check about offer letter delay.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cognizant (Kolkata) in Aug 2016
Interview
Interviewed at Cognizant for a Java Developer role on August 2016. The process was extremely tedious! I was given time-slot 9-30 am - 12-30 pm but my turn came around 3 pm!
Coming to the interview process! The interviewer probably considers herself as a close associate of the CEO. For the first time, I encountered such an arrogant interviewer! Even if correct answers were given, she kept on asking whether I was sure about it or not!
Starting from definition of Class,Object to Polymorphism, Abstraction, difference between Method Overriding & Method Overloading, some scenario based questions from Collections, exception handling were asked. End of the day I was rejected.
