I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Mar 2012
Interview
Interview was easy
They were looking for a person with great communication skills rather than someone with great technical skills. TCP/IP model was asked and networking concepts. Was asked my favorite book and its story (As I had mentioned reading novels as my hobby)
Interviewer was very friendly
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
