I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Dec 2013
Interview

I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interviewer asked most of the questions from resume and she doesn't even understand the difference between my previous employer and client also the interview should be more technical to Power BI but she revealed that she is looking for a person in Power apps. Question to Cognizant is why did they even conducted this interview when you are looking for other skills rather than Power BI which I clearly mentioned in the resume more over the technical questions should be asked based on experience the questions i was asked were not even basics and I expect to have asked more difficult questions in Power BI when I'm about to get hired. Loss on you.
It was 1.5 hours interview with first half of taken by one interview and for the rest 2 more interviewers joined. All rounds done in one interview, post which HR call was there. Pretty quick.
