      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Cognizant

      Interview

      I was asked to attend a recruitment drive on a weekend, it took almost an hour to get the gate passes and enter into the company All the candidates were asked to wait in a cafeteria and there was no air conditioners being switched on, so having to spend almost three hours there was very killing There were two rounds of technical interview, interviewer in both the technical rounds we very polite and the questions were good(not very tough) It was followed by hr discussion, the hr person was very very rude . He was very irritating, he was very harsh in his approach. In the end they said that I will be receiving the offer in a week, the very next day got a call from hr team asking for some documents to be uploaded. She was asking my time to take up the client interview but after a week there was no communication from them. When I called back she was saying that she is arranging some client interview for me. After a month I called back to that hr she said my profile got rejected in client screening( but no client interview was scheduled for me) and she said if I need to proceed with some other clients I have to start all over again I.e.... Attending a recruitment drive
