I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hartford, CT) in Mar 2010
Interview
They interview based on the customer need. In my case I had 2 rounds of employer interviews and 2 rounds of customer interviews including one in person interview with customer. At onsite employer interview is up to the individual who take it and if customer is Ok, then all goes well as long as you don't demand a huge salary. Salary negotiation is the tough part
First there will be a screening round ,most probably a telephonic or video call followed by a Managerial round
Lastly a client round where you will be asked about your day to day contribution in project
