I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Sep 2012
Interview
The interview process was really good. The interviewer asked the basic logical questions and the real time scenarios. After the technical panel, called by the manager and discussed about the roles and responsibilities I had performed and going to perform. The manager and HR round is simple if we are strong in the technical discussion. I had the technical interview and the manager round on the same day. after a couple of days, had a HR round
