      Programme Analyst Interview

      Mar 27, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Teaneck, NJ
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Teaneck, NJ) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      I applied through my university career portal. I had 1 interview with HR on campus then they reached out to me a few days later and asked for a second round interview. They invited me to their Teaneck office where I had 3 interviews. The first was as behavioral with HR and the next two were technical with managers. Each interview lasted between 20-30 minutes. The interview was on a Friday and I believe they got back to me on a Tuesday or Wednesday with a decision. Then they gave me 2-3 weeks to make my decision.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked about my resume, leadership/teamwork skills, my coding background, SDLC, projects I've worked on in the past, why I want to join this company. As always, make sure you know your resume inside and out. For the behavioral portion conducted by HR, they went through my resume and asked how I work in a team, how I solved problems as a leader and similar things. HR asked me if I had any other offers and how much other companies were paying me.They ask about your location preference--since this is consulting, they expect you to be able to move anywhere at anytime for projects sometimes. The technical interview was conducted by managers. They took some time to get to know you and your background. Then they asked technical questions asking about my ability to code, my interests in technology, the software development life cycle, and former projects. They new that I was an undergraduate student so they didn't really give me a hard time about not being able to answer difficult technical questions. They were more interested in your ability to adapt, work in a team and willingness to learn.
