Question 1
Mostly based on technical or the role and responsibility one is going to be perform.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderabad) in Apr 2016
Interview
Attended the drive on 2nd April 2016 at Hyderabad,It was a walk in drive with mail confirmation for java ,mainframes,Hadoop almost all technologies.
I came at 9 AM ,At around 11:30AM i was called for the interview
1)Technical round 1
2)Technical round 2
After clearing the technical rounds they told me that i was selected and asked me to fill hr form with expected CTC and other details for HR discussion.
For HR round I almost waited 7 hours and at last i was called at around 6:30 PM for hr discussion.
it lasted for 15 mts with salary negotiation ,They told me that i will be receiving the offer letter with in 2 weeks.
Till now there is no information nor call nor email nor any sort of communication from them
Same was happened with other persons who was selected in the interview
My suggestion is not to attend drives conducted by Cognizant. They waste our time 1 complete day.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderabad) in Nov 2013
