The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Gdańsk) in Jul 2021
Interview
The interview primarily focused on a range of technical concepts, including Django, database principles, ACID compliance, algorithms, and data structures. There was a significant emphasis on both theoretical understanding and practical application. As part of the process, I was required to participate in a live coding session, where I was tasked with solving coding problems in real-time while explaining my thought process to the interviewer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you explain what ACID compliance is in the context of relational databases?
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
