I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai)
Interview
Was little off the topic like what motto and why you are looking to move here etc which is irrelevant I felt. The job notification itself I would have mentioned that due to career progression I am looking for change
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Apr 2025
Interview
Scheduled 5 rounds of interviews in the span of 1.5 month
I got rejected in 6th round
1.5 months of hope wasted and it took 6 rounds to eliminate a candidate
No alternative role or project has been considered which disappoints.
