Me postulé a través de una agencia de empleos. El proceso tomó 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en Cognizant (Pune) en oct 2016
Entrevista
I have 10 Years Experience in DevOps. Received the call through consultancy.. Saying it is scheduled. But i went today (1-Oct) i see 200+ candidates for different technologies.
After 30 min in the line, i finally entered floor.
Good Things :-
HR Team did manage the group very well
Handled the candidates interview in a proficient way
Technical round scheduled at 1PM. It did went very well. HR team asked me to wait for 2nd round of discussion.
Bad Things :-
Second discussion was Manager discussion. It was mostly on release Management, Release Plan and Release Strategies. As a person from pure technical background and having applied for DevOps Architect i felt all this discussion was Irrelevant to my domain,
Usually when i left interview i will either go out with one of the experience... Left Happy or with some new Learning (or) areas to improve. But sorry to say, first time i felt with no positive experience. And despite all positives since morning, i felt full with Negative impression

Entrevista
its one round with one hour conversation.The interview process consisted of multiple stages designed to evaluate both technical expertise and problem-solving ability. It began with an initial recruiter screening where we discussed my background, experience with DevOps practices, and alignment with the role. This was followed by one or more technical interviews that focused on areas such as cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, infrastructure as code, and system design. During these rounds, I was asked to explain real-world scenarios, troubleshooting approaches, and the architectural decisions I’ve made in previous projects. There were also discussions around coding practices, automation, and operational reliability
Two rounds of interview both over the zoom. Got the confirmation within a week.
Interview started little early than scheduled. Overall experience was positive. The interview was little difficult to handle.
