I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cognizant (London, England) in May 2018
Interview
Went for interview on 19th May 2018. Worst management i ever saw in life. First they ask you wait half n hour to make gatepass. Then they will take you to auditorium. Then they start testing your patience level. After passing 4-5 hrs still no one calls your name. You will just see people are keep coming but nothing is happening. I dont why they calls lots of people if they not able to handle it properly. Please respect interviewee, you people dont have a rights to spoil anyone's day.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Cognizant
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in June 2026
Interview
only one round of technical interview for senior position, and hr execution was not proper, they didn;t connect when needed and no proper negotiation of salary either since shortlisting for interview
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.
