I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (London, England) in Dec 2018
Interview
One technical interview with a programming exercise, one cultural and HR interview. Accepted offer but was then ghosted by their HR - received no feedback. I have also heard of others having a very negative experience with their onboarding process. They seem to have a culture of disregard for candidates and wasting candidates time. Avoid.
The interview process went smoothly and felt very straightforward from start to finish. The session was primarily technical, where the interviewer asked me standard questions about core Java programming concepts and my specific experience using the Spring Boot framework.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Singapore) in Aug 2025
Interview
Asynchronous interview via zoom, the hiring manager was relaxed, ask a basic series of questions and a few technical questions. As a graduate from a diploma, he will ask what did you do in your school.
There were some online tests and then also a few rounds of online interviews. Asked about previous experience, motivations and why you want to join the company. The interviewers were friendly.
