I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Feb 2011
Interview
I had three technical rounds and 1 HR round. All the three technical rounds were based on previous projects and general technical questions from a developer level. The individual rounds were taken by different groups, so each were different in nature. But each round had a specific focus to SQL Queries and complex ones. Programming questions were run of the mill excepting a couple of design and architecture focused questions.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interviewer asked most of the questions from resume and she doesn't even understand the difference between my previous employer and client also the interview should be more technical to Power BI but she revealed that she is looking for a person in Power apps. Question to Cognizant is why did they even conducted this interview when you are looking for other skills rather than Power BI which I clearly mentioned in the resume more over the technical questions should be asked based on experience the questions i was asked were not even basics and I expect to have asked more difficult questions in Power BI when I'm about to get hired. Loss on you.
It was 1.5 hours interview with first half of taken by one interview and for the rest 2 more interviewers joined. All rounds done in one interview, post which HR call was there. Pretty quick.
