I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2017
Interview
One of the recruiter told me that there is a company called Cognizant and they are looking for software engineer due to new project for their client. Few days later I got an email to prepare for phone interview at specified date & time. Unfortunately nobody gave me a phone call that time. I got email that they are apologizing for that and let's setup new phone call tomorrow. That day I had a 30 minute call with guy, but it was very hard to understand him and moreover line quality was very bad. After phone call I have not received any feedback so far. Moreover about two weeks later, different recruiter who worked for them reached me once again asking for the same job! Unimaginable!
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
