I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant in Jan 2011
Interview
It was long wait as there were many students to be interviewed. In the end, the interview itself lasted for five minutes which consisted of some very basic questions in c++ and java. Some personality questions very also asked. the test was basic math and verbal skill testing. The level was very low and not at all intimidating for someone who is an average engineer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the basic difference between c++ and java?
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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
