I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Nov 2020
Interview
There was a round for selecting the shortlisted candidates. After that, the interview was scheduled.
Despite around 4 reschedules, I was finally joined by the interviewer at 7 AM in the morning. He had a very friendly demeanor, and started off by asking about me.
After I introduced myself, he went on to discuss my interests. I told him about my previous stints in content writing, software development and testing.
Then he went on to ask me a few questions on programming concepts and language of my choice (Python but he asked from C as well.)
When the interview questions were done, he started asking about my internship experiences. We had a good conversation on that, since he apparently wanted to know what I did in my content writing internships.
