      Programme Analyst Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant

      Interview

      The hiring process was very streamlined with a general aptitude test on the first day after which short-listed candidates were called for further interviews. There were 2 interview rounds - one, technical in front of a panel of project leads/managers and the second was a one-on-one with the HR manager. There was also a written personality test before the HR interview.

Even though I tried to explain the benefits of joining a bigger company like Cognizant, I messed up a bit by saying that my earlier job where I'd just been for 6 months had been a "long" one and I wanted to move on! The interviewers wondered how long I would stick with Cognizant if selected...
