I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Aug 2024
Interview
The interview process included multiple rounds. First, there was an online assessment with technical questions on Angular, TypeScript, and JavaScript. Then a technical interview focused on coding, API integration, and scenario-based problem solving. The next round was managerial, testing communication, project experience, and problem-solving approach. Finally, there was an HR round discussing salary expectations, career goals, and availability. Overall, the process was structured and professional

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Jul 2018
Interview
I went to Cognizant, Manyata Tech Park, Bangalore for face-to-face interview. I entered the office at 10 AM. After waiting for 4 hours, my interview was conducted at around 2 PM. The person who interviewed me, I think he had become frustrated as he has opened 2 buttons from his shirt and didn’t look professional at all. He would ask me questions and look somewhere else as if he was pretending not to hear my answers. Also, before I could finish my answer, he would ask me another question.
I have worked in Angular projects and I know the answers which I was given were correct. So, I don’t understand why he was showing this type of attitude. Even, after my interview was finished, it took them more than one hour to tell me that you can leave for the day.
Anyways, it was a terrible experience in Cognizant.
