I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cognizant (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
I got a mail from HR for the interview on Friday. Two persons took the interview and then told they are satisfied and considering me for the project even they told that i ll be working for so and so client in 2 to 11 shift. That day manager was not there so they told you can go and you ll get call for manager round. But i never get a call after that. After 3 weeks i got a call from another cts HR for testing openings. I told him that i have already had the interview but didn't get call for manager round. He told u can again appear for the interview.. which was on weekends. I again attended the interview and the interview was good also. In feedback the interviewer told ya you are good and cleared this round then the contact person told u can go and u ll get call for 2nd round. Then after 3 days when i tried to contact the HR they have sent me a mail saying no requirements now for your skills and they rejected me ..
