I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant in June 2011
Interview
I was interviewed by a Project manager, he was concentrated in both technical and management skills. It was not so tough but he covered spring and other generic J2EE topics, and after this two more rounds of technical followed by a HR round. Except the first round interview rest all went like pretty casual manner.
First there will be a screening round ,most probably a telephonic or video call followed by a Managerial round
Lastly a client round where you will be asked about your day to day contribution in project
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Winston-Salem, NC)
