I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cognizant (New Delhi) in May 2022
Interview
This company is slowly dying because of various factors as listed below.
1)Interview process and the team who takes interviews doesn’t know the basic concepts even we give correct answers they have something in their head they cannot relate what a person is saying
2)Lack of domain knowledge example if we ask ask what exactly the project and technologies they are looking they give wired answers
3)Un professional behaviour of interviewers
4)This company should first train their employees to get strong on basics
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.
