I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Apr 2014
Interview
Initial communication done through consulancy , then one sunday there was big queue for all technologies .
First round completed they asked to wait for second round , then in some time HR came and told to the selected candidates there is no member for taking second round so please go we will call , till now there is no call :)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If the interviewer not worked with the technology what u have worked then he will ask the comparison with the technology what he has worked and yours
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Poona) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
