Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Cognizant (Calcutta) nel mese di nov 2012
Colloquio
Not a good experience. interview was taken in a very large room, with multiple panel very close to each other - which made it very noisy, and hard to concentrate. Interviewers didnt even care to intruduce themselves. questions were from more of their area of experties than mine, and if googled, "I am feeling lucky" would have given the answer.

I did 3 rounds of interview, each of them technical, I managed to get to the client, the client were the only one who noticed that I wasn't a support engineer (I didn't apply to that position either, apparently somebody switched me in the middle of the process)

The interview process included an initial HR screening followed by a technical assessment to test my Java skills. After that, I had one or two rounds of technical interviews focusing on coding, problem-solving, and frameworks like Spring Boot. Finally, there was a managerial round to discuss project experience and team collaboration.
