      Graduate Engineer Trainee Interview

      13 Dec 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Chennai
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Nov 2022

      Interview

      Well planned process. An interview is essentially a two-way exchange of ideas, and the candidate will be interviewing your company just as much as you will be interviewing them. Come up with some standardized questions that all of the interviewers ask the candidate. This helps in two ways: first, it makes sure there is at least some common ground between the different interviewers when it comes time to evaluate the candidate. And second, you will know how truthful (or well-rehearsed) the candidate is in their responses by seeing how much their answers change between interviewers. In addition to having questions prepared beforehand, it is useful to think about how you might answer a tough question from a candidate, as fumbling with your words during an interview will make your company look incompetent and dishonest. During this stage, if the candidate does have any tough questions about the company, it’s always a safe bet to be honest and to present the company in a positive light while still being truthful. Just like when you ask a candidate what their biggest weakness is and they spin it into a positive, you can also do this with questions about your company.
