I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cognizant (Coimbatore) in Nov 2021
Interview
The interview was about the fact and if you have real-time experience in the ask, you can really crack it. Its all the scenario based questions and the metrics you follow with the team. How you communicate with the leadership if you have not achieved your goals.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Real-time questions like what is the mitigation plan you took or will take in future if you have a conflict between the team and the Business?
Very easy fireside chat. No technical interview. For clients mostly simple coding: reverse a string, anagram, impl linked list, basic sql query etc for associates. For sr and manager it may be more advanced.
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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
