I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cognizant (Tempe, AZ) in May 2026
Interview
Never got to the interview. They rescheduled 5+ times/were no shows at every interview I attended and claimed it was technical issues. This was all for some program where they train you to be a data engineer but it seems like they couldn't figure out an interview
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Feb 2026
Interview
Interview was F2F and all the rounds took place on the same day. Once the technical round was done, further communication was handled Virtual. And Salary discussion was done through Virtual.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Incremental loads, Time Travel, SQl & Project explanation
it wasn't too difficult; there were about 3 rounds. There was an online assessment which included a multiple choice for technical and recorded video prompts for behavioral. Then there was an HR screening call and then technical interview with someone live.
