I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Jul 2021
Interview
There was one Technical round which finished in 20-30min.it was not much complex.After 15days or so I got a call from HR and she said m taking your HR round.expectations were discussed and agreed upon. Even when on my last day i was asking for offer letter.I had contacts of 3 Cognizant HRs.one who scheduled,one recruiter and other who took HR round.I called them so many times and still no response.I have mailed them too.Then one day before my joining date ie 8th august another person calls me to ask if i am joining on 9th.I said i dont have offer yet and explained the scenario.but no use all are same.No offer letter nothing till the end.thankfully i had other offer to join.
It was good interviewer was very kind and chill
But I'm from python background
The interviewer was from java background so that's why he told me this role is for java developer only
There will be two technical interview rounds, with the first one primarily focused on assessing my expertise in core Java concepts, including object-oriented programming, collections, multithreading, and exception handling, while the second round will dive more into the full-stack side, covering my experience with backend frameworks like Spring Boot, frontend technologies such as React or Angular, database integration, API development, and overall system design capabilities.
