Simple interview. I got asked about my projects and stuff about expected behavior at the company. The technical side of the interview included problems from SQL and Python. Overall, not a bad process.
Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. El proceso tomó 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Cognizant
Entrevista
first round was written test followed by communication assessment followed by one round of technical + HR interview not that hard , this was as a part of campus placement
Interview was easy with basic technical questions like oops concepts, core JAVA, spring boot, microservcies and SQL. Simple coding questions like reverse a string, anagram, linked list. It was a nice experience.
