I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant in Oct 2011
Interview
It was a very systematic interview, with excellent functioning of the panel which had come to test the skills of the students in detailed manner. There were 2 rounds of which the first one was written round and the next one was interview with the panel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you reverse a linked list and how do you find if the linked list has a loop in it? Write a pseudo code for the same.
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
