I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Feb 2011
Interview
Easy questions. Interviewer was not technically good. I could make out by the kind of questions he was asking. There are lot of stupid people as in most service based organizations who would leverage contacts to reach at undeserved position.
