I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Dublín, Dublín) in Mar 2017
Interview
One of the recruiter told me that there is a company called Cognizant and they are looking for software engineer due to new project for their client. Few days later I got an email to prepare for phone interview at specified date & time. Unfortunately nobody gave me a phone call that time. I got email that they are apologizing for that and let's setup new phone call tomorrow. That day I had a 30 minute call with guy, but it was very hard to understand him and moreover line quality was very bad. After phone call I have not received any feedback so far. Moreover about two weeks later, different recruiter who worked for them reached me once again asking for the same job! Unimaginable!
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.
