I applied through university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Cognizant (Storrs, CT) in June 2012
Interview
Not related to tech at all. Interviewed at the University for the 1st interview. Second interview was at the headquarters. Interview was not related to programming or engineering, just a basic conversation on management and team leading.
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
