Colloquio
My cognizant interview experience was good.The interview process consisted of three rounds: aptitude, technical, and HR. The aptitude round was challenging, assessing problem-solving skills. The technical round focused purely on technical knowledge and skills. The final HR round likely evaluated fit for the role and company culture.
