I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant in Mar 2016
Interview
Worst hiring process. HR sent me a mail as if it is a scheduled interview and when I reached cts, there were more than 500 people and they had hardly 4 - 5 panels. We were waiting from morning 9.30 - 6.30 . Finally there happened a fight between the hr team and people waiting outside. HR people were behaving so rude as if they are doing us some favour. Finally they decided to call girls who were waiting . My chance came by 6.45. Interview happened only for 10 minutes. How can he assess someone by 10 minutes? He didn't give chance to answer properly. He was in such a hurry.
I received the interview schedule via naukri for QA AUTOMATION ENGINEER role. It's a virtual interview. Interview experience is average. Not Easy. Questions will be increased and asked based on the response.
