The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Poona) in Nov 2009
Interview
Cognizant had conducted walkins and more than 1000 ppl turned up to attend the interview.They were not prepared to handle big crowds.The representatives were not very accomodating and every thing was in a mess.The initial round was technical and the interview was conducted for half an hour.I managed to clear the first round and was made to wait for 7 hours for the next round.The panel was frustrated and they vented out the frustaration on the candidates.Overall it was not a very pleasing experience.
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
