I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Mar 2021
Interview
Same set of questions asked for most of the participants. 1 round is enough if many project are in hand else the interview rounds will go to multi rounds. They want people to join immediately by buying the notice period.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you join immediately or do you have a notice period
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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
