Question 1
Performance issue faced and solution I have worked.
Walk-in interview it was and they selected few of the candidates and I was one of them we had 3 rounds of interview and in HR round they finalized offer and they said we will get that in few days but lateron after 2 weeks someone from cognizant called and started saying "you need to give one more client interview if you pass that then only offer will be rolled out". I thought I was the only one who stuck with cognizant in this postion but I heard from other candidates also that they did the same and till now they haven't scheduled client interview not they have given any offers. Very bad experience never try to give interview in cognizant again.
