I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant in Nov 2023
Interview
First round was multiple choice questions followed by standard behavioral HR questions such as "why would you like to work here?" and "where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?". Second round was much more difficult as I was asked very specific questions related to Java and struggled to answer them, even though I was told it would be Java coding problem and behavioral questions. Expectations were rather high for an entry-level role.

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.
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.
