I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (New York, NY) in Jul 2020
Interview
Worst Interview experience i ever had in my life. Initially there were two rounds. Telephonic and Google meet. I had cleared all the rounds. After that there was no response. HR will not update you as if you are cracked the interview rounds or you are selected. I almost followed 2 weeks with the HR for getting update on my candidature. Sometimes they won't pick your call or not replying to your messages. After wasting 2 weeks HR told me the position got hold. The business team update as the position open for Java developer hold for sometime and will revert back once got the updates. Such lame reasons.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Nueva Delhi)
Interview
They invite lot many candidates for the interview ranging from the experience of 3-11 years as if they really don't know their exact requirements and when they see the crowd they plan to filter them out. First strategy to filter is experience cut-off, which they change from 3-11 years to 4/5-11 years. If they still feel the crowd is too many to handle then they will filter them based on notice period. If the crowd is still the same then they ask them to go through a machine or paper test. This way they just waste candidate's time just to save their own time and efforts. Worst interview management. Needs lot of improvement and planning.
