I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Haiderabad)
Interview
The Cognizant interview process started with an aptitude test, assessing logical reasoning, quantitative ability, and verbal skills. This was followed by a technical one-on-one interview, where I was asked about SQL, Python, data analysis, and problem-solving scenarios. Finally, there was an HR interview to discuss my background, communication skills, and alignment with the company culture. The process was structured and smooth, providing a great opportunity to showcase both technical and interpersonal skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the Cognizant technical interview, I was asked a DSA question on arrays and sorting, along with Java concepts like OOP principles and exception handling. They also tested my problem-solving skills by asking me to write a pattern code using loops. The questions were designed to assess both my logical thinking and coding proficiency.
It was good. The questions were easy and relevant. It was hassle free. The results did not take too long. Over all good experience. The interviewer was patient and professional.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Feb 2022
