I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant in Dec 2008
Interview
The hiring process was good. There were technical and HR rounds. If you have a good technical knowledge then you can pass the technical rounds. The number and type of questions depends on the interviewer.
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.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
First online aptitude round then personal interview , i went through a college campus recruitment process , two members in interview panel , one person in real another one in video
