I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Aug 2016
Interview
Interviewed at Cognizant for a Java Developer role on August 2016. The process was extremely tedious! I was given time-slot 9-30 am - 12-30 pm but my turn came around 3 pm!
Coming to the interview process! The interviewer probably considers herself as a close associate of the CEO. For the first time, I encountered such an arrogant interviewer! Even if correct answers were given, she kept on asking whether I was sure about it or not!
Starting from definition of Class,Object to Polymorphism, Abstraction, difference between Method Overriding & Method Overloading, some scenario based questions from Collections, exception handling were asked. End of the day I was rejected.
