I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cognizant (Almeirim) in Feb 2016
Interview
Job interview was quite easy. Firstly i directly went into managers interview and there i was asked about my previous job experience and job role. After that i went through another senior manager interview there also I faced same question regarding my previous job profile.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcuta) in Jun 2018
Interview
It was all day long and hectic. But complete process was good. Waited the whole day and finally it got completed and got an offer letter after 10 days. Both technical and HR was lengthy.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Sep 2018
Interview
I had great experience with the interview.. The first round was telephonic interview, the questions were focused mainly on the core java with only a few questions on specializations, the person was very understanding, I clearly told when I have no idea about the concept. Unlike many interviews where interviewer will ask some specific question seen online and stick to that, this interviewer focused on deep understanding of any topic.
The second round was F2F, interviewer seem to judge the way I would process the challenge, and tried to check how many of the topics that they currently use in their project I am familiar with.
Though they take a long time to roll out the offer, rest of process was quick and smooth.
