I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Kuala Lumpur) in Jul 2023
Interview
Approached by a recruiter on Linkedin and accepted the invitation for the position. Before the interview, the candidates were given a test for comprehension skills, critical thinking and email writing. Once the candidate passed the test then the HR will schedule an online interview with the team lead. The team lead ask me to introduce myself and my working experience if any and then he show me some short articles to read and to reiterate those articles in my own word. Got informed I passed the interview a few hours after the interview. The whole process took a week and a half.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderabad)
Interview
The interviewers are actually really nice and humble. They understand candidates well and never try to intimidate you. Their questions are totally reasonable, though a few might seem off-topic just to meet their client's specific needs. It's a great learning experience that shows you exactly where you can improve. Just don't panic! Let your words flow naturally instead of freezing up. Stay confident and keep your answers structured and clear.
