      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Declined offer
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant in Oct 2008

      Interview

      I got this call from an agency after I had my resume uploaded on a job site. They called me to a weekend interview. I had a technical round for a project in location A. Apparently, I cleared the round and, therefore, I had another round with the HR. I was told I was selected and that I should get the offer in a few days. After quite a few days, their HR called me and told me that they were not getting the kind of project I wanted in location A, so I would be placed in location B. Ok, I said. After quite a few more days, I got a call from their HR that they would have another interview for location B!! I agreed, but a few days later, I got a call from location C instead. When I told the interviewer that I was not interested in location C, he was surprised. He also wasn't aware that I had already been selected. We decided to discontinue the interview process for obvious reasons. A few more days later, I got yet another call from their HR complaining that I had not picked up the phone during my interview time. I explained that this was not true and that I had simply refused to go to location C. So, they said they'd have another interview scheduled for me for location B. I agreed. A few days later, I got the call from location B, without any pre-schedule. on that day, somehow, not only was I disinterested in that company, I had grown tired. The interview was strongly technical and I would say I was average on that day. Again, when I mentioned I was already selected, this panel did not know of it. Interestingly, I saw one thing common in all these panels. They were rude and thought they knew everything about that technology. They simply carried forth the air of a boss, just because they were on the interviewer's seat. Add that to the disco-ordination and lack of communication with a prospective joinee, I have decided to keep away form this company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The questions were purely technical and tried to judge the depth in a modern version of the programming language I work with.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru)

      Interview

      Walk-in interview it was and they selected few of the candidates and I was one of them we had 3 rounds of interview and in HR round they finalized offer and they said we will get that in few days but lateron after 2 weeks someone from cognizant called and started saying "you need to give one more client interview if you pass that then only offer will be rolled out". I thought I was the only one who stuck with cognizant in this postion but I heard from other candidates also that they did the same and till now they haven't scheduled client interview not they have given any offers. Very bad experience never try to give interview in cognizant again.
