I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Singapur) in Jul 2016
Interview
1st round was F2F with Account Manager involving a brief tech skill-set evaluation, followed by general discussion of the job role and the company culture at large. 2nd round was a recruitment drive with many other prospective candidates, where I met with 2 engineers for a more thorough tech skill-set evaluation, followed by 1 round with HR executive on behavioral evaluation, past experience sharing and getting to know more about the company's business activities in general.
Remuneration package was great, medical coverage was great, leave entitlement was unfortunately below average (I later researched about leave entitlement for the first 5 years of service in a typical U.S. company, and concluded it as a difference in corporate culture). Package entailed a few more out-of-the-norm conditions that I was not comfortable with, so I eventually declined the offer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderabad) in Aug 2016
Interview
2 Technical, 1 Manager and finally HR rounds. You are almost selected if you cross first two.
Manager and HR rounds are nothing more than giving you company insights. Technical rounds are fairly easy to moderate, so easy to crack.but no call letter
