I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Apr 2017
Interview
Basic questions on OOPS, .Net, C# and SQL Server. Few questions on my added skills like Javascript, Bootstrap, Material Design and CSS.
I did not get to work on .Net MVC framework so they were bit apprehensive of onboarding me to Client project. Although they were impressed on my Responsive Web Design (RWD) skills.
For a 3year experience guy, MVC and WCF are mandatory skillsets, without which it gets difficult to get into a client project.
