I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Dec 2023
Interview
Interview was very and they discussed salary package and told me within 2 weeks they will send offer letter but it's took 7 month still I didn't receive. I called many times but HR told that she informed recruiter to send the offer letter to me but the recruiter is not sending. Everytime I received same answer so I just ignored.

First round was online assessment(general communication and other stuff) and second round was also an online assessment which was related to the tech stack(role applied for) then if we get selected there was an HR round.
The interview process was smooth and well organized. It started with an aptitude and technical test, followed by a technical interview where they asked questions on Java basics, OOP concepts, and SQL. The final round was an HR discussion focusing on my background, role expectations, and availability. Overall, the experience was professional and positive.
