I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Mar 2021
Interview
Same set of questions asked for most of the participants. 1 round is enough if many project are in hand else the interview rounds will go to multi rounds. They want people to join immediately by buying the notice period.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you join immediately or do you have a notice period
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jun 2026
Interview
only one round of technical interview for senior position, and hr execution was not proper, they didn;t connect when needed and no proper negotiation of salary either since shortlisting for interview
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
