I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2020
Interview
Fairly easy; company mainly wants to confirm you can solve problems with code. Able to ask interviewer questions to clarify, sort of pair programming but obviously you have to do most of the work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever dealt with a conflict between teammates? How did you resolve this?
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
