Cognizant Technology Solutions Senior Project Manager Interview

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took 12 months)

Interviewing for a senior pm role in hyderabad. A cognizant HR lakshmi atluri called up and fixed an interview first week of July. F2F with 2 senior members for more than an hour, cleared that and was asked to attend a telephonic interview with a director in USA. Bridge line set, logged on to the bridge line, waited and waited. No one joined. Called the HR, he said he would try connecting. Waited for 30 mins, no one joined, dropped off! Telephonic interview rescheduled the next week. Again joined the bridge, waited for 15 mins, no one joined. Called the HR and told him this, he said the director might have been busy. Recruiter calls up again couple of times asking my availability. But no confirmation for the next round. Emailed recruiter but no response. HORRIBLE recruitment process for a person at the senior level. Recruiter calls up again in November asking if I am available and he will schedule an interview with the director in US. I tell him to get lost....end of story!!! Never expected this from cognizant.
