I applied via referral. Completed the interview rounds online by 14 FEB, completed my documents verification by 03 MAR. Even though, HR confirmed document verification is good, still haven't hearback.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Kuala Lumpur) in Feb 2026
Interview
Keeps calling and rescheduled the interview for more than 3 times . At the end, interviewer did not turn up. Is a very uncomfortable and lousy experience. Will not consider for this kind of company.
