I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune City) in Jan 2019
Interview
I applied online and i received the interview call letter from cognizant. Mine was a scheduled interview but looked like they were conducting the walkin interview there. Too much crowd. Then we submit our resume with two photographs. First round was a technical round(incompetent interviewers)

Started with difference between HTML 5 and HTML 4 and HTML doctype. about css2 and css3, positioning. some of the javascript questions(not sure if he himself was knowing javascript and Angular). looked like he was html and CSS dev only

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.
