I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Boston, MA) in Apr 2012
Interview
I applied online on Cognizant website for Informatica and got call from recruiter. She explained me everything like what kind of package cognizant offers and what kind job of role it would... What are the benefits offered...
Once I agreed she scheduled 1st round of technical interview.
Once I cleared 1st Round I had 2nd round of interview with technical Manager and 2 more Sr.Developers on Skype.
After then I got call back from recruiter that I have cleared the interview and asked me if I am interested in the offer. I accepted the offer.
1st Round of interview was good and interviewer asked to the point questions including few scenario based questions.
During the 2nd Round of interview they asked almost same questions except they added few team management, organizational, as well as some more detailed technical questions on performance tuning.
Virtual interview process, standard behavioral questions and some technical questions. Technical questions were more focused on skills & software I have previously used for data analysis. Everything else was pretty standard and straightforward.
