I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Aug 2009
Interview
First round will be pure technical where interviewer will ask detailed technical question and then next round will be manager round which might or might not be technical, they might ask little technical and more focused will be on your overall personality and character. Try to be honest and flexible to work place, rest is easy. HR round is more over formalities where very minute chances that you got rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you leaving your current job and if it is less than 2 years then how can you assure me that you will not leave Cognizant in 2 years?
Virtual interview process, standard behavioral questions and some technical questions. Technical questions were more focused on skills & software I have previously used for data analysis. Everything else was pretty standard and straightforward.
