      Application

      I interviewed at Cognizant (Noida)

      Interview

      The interview process was streamlined and focused on assessing my experience as a lateral hire. It began with an introductory HR call where we discussed my background, previous roles, and alignment with the organisation’s needs. This was followed by a technical conversation with the hiring manager and team, where they evaluated my hands‑on skills, problem‑solving approach, and familiarity with identity and access management workflows. The process concluded with a culture‑fit discussion and clarification of role expectations.
