I was 13th person at the interview process.first 10 person came out of interview saying that questions where tough they asked to write assembly language code. I was shocked.when I went to one of the panel for technical interview the interviewer asked me to be comfort, don't worry don't get tensed ,I was happy by his words,he started to ask some common questions like tell me about our self.after that he went through my resume and asked me to write fragment of code applying oops concept to the code I written in the project using PHP,some how I wrote but he didn't get convinced.after he asked to write any machine learning algorithm,so I said I don't know but I can explain how knn algorithm works .then he asked some java concept and lastly he asked strength and weaknesses,that is the end of my technical interview.i got rejected in technical interview.
Great interview experience. The interviewers were friendly, professional, and supportive. Whenever I couldn't answer a question, they patiently explained the expected approach and concepts, making the discussion comfortable, informative, and encouraging throughout.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jun 2026
Interview
only one round of technical interview for senior position, and hr execution was not proper, they didn;t connect when needed and no proper negotiation of salary either since shortlisting for interview
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
