I reached at Cognizant office for the scheduled interview @9:30 in the morning on 13th Oct 2018. To get visiting pass, the process took more than 90 mins. Then registration was done around 11:30 a.m. After that I was called for the interview around 2:00 p.m. 2 technical rounds were there and by 3:00 p.m I was told that I have cleared those rounds and need to wait for HR round. Then I waited for my HR round till 8:00 p.m. Candidates whose interview started 3 hours later , their HR round was taken before me. In the HR round, I was told that Cognizant can't match my Current CTC and thus can't offer the position to me which was a shock to me. On asking that why my profile has been shortlisted on the first place because all this information was provided earlier and thus I was shortlisted, HR persontold me that this I need to talk to the person who sent me the mail. I told him that I came for the interview because it was sent on behalf of Coggnizant and thus I trusted the source. Also, I feel that for HR round I was made to wait more purposely as this information could have been passed to me earlier only. I can never trust Cognizant anymore. You people should take care of such things as we candidates put many efforts for a scheduled interview. Anyways, it was a very pathetic experience for me and I lost my whole day, wasted money on travel cost and will never ever be attending interviews for Cognizant in the future.
