I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutá) in Jan 2007
Interview
being on campus was easy to get in and interview was straight forward. simple questions and quick 15 min interview. the interviewer wasn't very impressive. it was my 1st job interview and a simple one to crack.
Work culture sucks big time. Lots of politics. You need to have a good impression with managers otherwise u r nowhere.
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
