I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter for the interview. I had the interview with one of senior manager for technical round.
I got the rejection because i worked back in 2012-15 along with my education and technical Manager wasn’t happy with it.
As per the HR manager my technical knowledge and Q&A with technical manager was great but he doesn’t want to proceed because of i worked with my education.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cognizant in Mar 2022
Interview
It was the worst experience I had with the HR. Every time I had a discussion with him, he threatened "If you don't agree to this, we will drop you and consider someone else". He was rude, uncooperative and absolutely unprofessional. I was yet to complete the onboarding formalities for which I told him I will confirm him soon on that but he again threated me that if I don't do it he will drop me and consider someone else. Worst experience.
