I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cognizant
Interview
There were three rounds. Technical, Managerial and HR round. The technical round asked questions starting from easy to advanced level. Technical round had many technical questions. Managerial round was more like checking the communication skills and preference matching of the candidate and the employer. HR round was mainly on the discussion of compensation, joining date and discussion prior to releasing the offer letter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Reason for job change and why I want to join the organization.
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
