I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Sep 2012
Interview
I was hired in India. It was pretty straight forward. You will have a technical interview followed by HR interview. Sometimes you might have 2 technical rounds. Like a phone round followed by face to face.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Dec 2015
Interview
I have attended interview with CTS 2 times. First attempt was in September 2014, I have cleared 3 technical rounds and faced a project manager round. PM asked "why you want to join CTS" then PM round over. I left for the day.
In 2nd attempt, I attended in December'2015, they had GWT requirement (that informed), at 9.30 and they started at 10 (Worst management - they don't even took your profile or mix up with other technologies-you have to follow up / take care your profile) after 2 technical rounds PM (his name is Vikas) asked technical cum lead queries. I have answered for everything (given with examples) he was happy to offer and same thing informed me and sent for HR round it was around 4pm and HR asked compensation details and Notice Period (even same thing covered with PM as well) and informed me that will finalize and offer on next business days. I have followed with consultancies but not received offer. It seems CTS is conducting fake interviews.
