I got a call for interview. I attended the interview, First there was written test which had around 60 questions. Questions covered all the topic related to skillset I had applied. Questions were based on (Java)Collections framework, Design Patterns, OOPS, Multithreading, Exception Handling.
After sometime I was informed that I had cleared the test and was asked to wait for face-to-face round.
After waiting for more than an hour, an hr came and told me that the panel for my skill set is not available, and those who are available will only be free after 3,4 hours. So they asked me to leave and told me that they will conduct a telephonic round in next week. But this never happened. My sincere request is not to call candidates if you are not interested in hiring them.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jun 2026
Interview
only one round of technical interview for senior position, and hr execution was not proper, they didn;t connect when needed and no proper negotiation of salary either since shortlisting for interview
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
