I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Jersey City, NJ) in Nov 2021
Interview
A Word of Caution for Cognizant Candidates: The "Talent Partner" that I worked with in the interview process was very deceptive. Following 2 interviews with senior leadership, I received an offer, which I verbally accepted. Time past and there was barely any communication from this "talent partner". Come to find out, Cognizant blamed their client for not materializing the role - i.e. if Cognizant doesn't win business they, as an organization, will drop recruits at the drop of a hat and do not hesitate to hide behind & blame their clients for it.
That is no way to run a business or treat recruits. A word of caution for those considering Cognizant as a potential employer - they did this to me, they could easily do this to you.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cognizant
Interview
I had the first contact with the recruiter in April 2025. Then the first interview finally happened 1,5 months after. At least, the second interview 1 week after. Then I was ghosted, even after my several follow-up emails...
Interview went well and mostly asked about the people management and given situations and assessed how would we deal in those situations and focus was on how we handle the team and meet hard deadlines
Fast efficient smooth and seamless interview process. Very efficient very fast very smooth and very seamless. It was a great experience. Indeed a very good experience. Delighted with the interview process.
