I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2016
Interview
I got call from consultancy. It was huge crowd for interview. Too pathetic interview process.
Before interview they did not tell if finance domain is mandatory. They said it is scheduled interview, but do not believe they will keep you waiting. we were called @ 10 AM, my tech round started @ 4 PM.
In first Tech round - I answered all the questions confidently and accurately, I was sure about Tech Round 2. But I was astonished to hear @ rejection in first round.
Its totally pathetic
