I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview process is a structured method employers use to assess a candidate's suitability for a role, typically beginning with introductions and light conversation to build rapport. Candidates often present a professional pitch summarizing their background and motivations, followed by a question-and-answer session covering behavioral, situational, and general topics to evaluate skills, problem-solving, and cultural fit. The interview concludes with final remarks, where candidates can ask questions to show interest and clarify details. A follow-up thank-you note is usually recommended to express appreciation and reinforce enthusiasm for the position.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jun 2026
Interview
only one round of technical interview for senior position, and hr execution was not proper, they didn;t connect when needed and no proper negotiation of salary either since shortlisting for interview
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.
