I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cognizant
Interview
Good positive experience for candidates by being respectful of their time, providing clear instructions, and maintaining transparent communication throughout the process. Regularly review and improve the interview process based on feedback from both interviewers and candidates. This helps refine the process over time.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Dehradun) in Apr 2026
Interview
My interview experience was overall quite good. The interviewers were friendly, and the questions were not very difficult. They mainly asked basic questions related to SQL, Python, and computer networking. I was able to answer some of the questions confidently, which made me feel comfortable during the interview.
The only challenge I faced was an unstable internet connection. There were several glitches during the interview, and at times the audio was not very clear. Despite these technical issues, the interview process went smoothly, and it was a valuable learning experience for me. It helped me understand what kind of questions are commonly asked and how important it is to be prepared for both technical and communication aspects of an interview.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Feb 2026
Interview
It was Moderate . questions were average but the time limit was less. But the interview was a good experience. Was able to attend few questions with confidence. but didn't get proper review after the assessment.
The interview process was extremely disappointing. The interviewer came 10 minutes late. During the interview he was jumping to another call and he had already made his mind not to hire me. Although I gave most of the answers correctly. Overall experience was cluttered and bad.
