Easy interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Sep 2009

Interview

The interview process started with HR getting basic info. about the Total and relevant exp., notice period, Expected CTC etc. The line interview went for about 30 minutes over the phone, and I was asked about my current job and responsibilities and the relevant exp in the profile they were looking for. The final round was again HR negotiating on the CTC and notice period, but our thoughts couldn't marry.
