I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Sept 2022
Interview
The Cognizant interview process typically begins with an online aptitude test assessing quantitative, logical reasoning, and verbal skills. Shortlisted candidates then move to technical interviews, which may include coding tests, problem-solving, and domain-specific questions based on the role. This is followed by an HR interview covering behavioral questions, cultural fit, and salary discussion. For experienced hires, there may be multiple technical rounds or managerial interviews focusing on project experience and leadership skills.
