I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Sep 2015
Interview
There were 3 steps.
First was an interview with the project manager, with very technical questions about software languages, development methodologies, general knowledge of the area.
Second was an HR interview, overview of the company and profile questions.
Third was an interview with the customers manager, which involved both technical and business questions about the job i was going to execute.
Overall, it was an easy interview, even though some technical questions i could not answer, the company offered training after i joined.
