I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Poona) in Jan 2011
Interview
Interview process is clear. There is a HR round and a final round of interview. The final round is very challenging as the interviewee is judged thoroughly on the product knowledge and also is expected to be at the top of the curve.
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
