I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (New York, NY) in Feb 2021
Interview
It was 3 step process. First round with technical architect and than next with practice director and last one with partner. Also recruiter was involved in negotiations and final offer discussions
I applied online. The process took a year or more. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Dec 2020
Interview
The process consists of 2 technical interviews. But it may take a few days or weeks or entire lifetime as the recruiters are very busy. They never keep track of the process and the candidate has to follow-up (Beg) to schedule the interviews and ask for feedback. If you get to the interview schedule stage, there is no guarantee that the interviewer will show up. Overall very poor interview process.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cognizant in Dec 2020
Interview
I had an agency recruiter reach out to schedule an interview, telling me they can be flexible to connect outside of business hours, only to be told the call had to be scheduled between 9:30-5. We agreed on 4:30 and never received a call. Upon reaching out, I'm given no explanation for missing the call and was redirected to an internal recruiter to schedule an appointment. After sharing my windows of availability, a new call is scheduled for another day at 4:30. Received a call at 4:35 telling me his day got away, can we reschedule for Friday? I asked for an 8am call and was told "I'm still in bed at that time"... If you don't respect and value your candidate's time, you lost the candidate's respect and value of your firm.
