I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in May 2011
Interview
The interview process was very quick and precise. Topics include basic java and j2ee questions. The interviewer was a technical manager. He had a opening in his account . There were 2 rounds. One technical and one HR.
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
