I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Feb 2016
Interview
Interview process is fast for experienced candiadate. There is only one face to face interview for experienced candidate. Because of bulk hiring there are so many candidates. So the queue is so long for entering to company.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcuta) in Nov 2012
Interview
Not a good experience. interview was taken in a very large room, with multiple panel very close to each other - which made it very noisy, and hard to concentrate. Interviewers didnt even care to intruduce themselves. questions were from more of their area of experties than mine, and if googled, "I am feeling lucky" would have given the answer.
