Good experience. It was a college placement, so it was normal. Interviewer asked me basic coding questions and helped me arrive at the logic for one too. Interviewer was cordial.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Aug 2025

Interview was scheduled and went well , have asked good question and more into production related , high chance to move back to production , need to stick with JD felt comfortable with interviewer
my experience with Cognizant during internship was good I learned how to work on projects how to contribute, how to team up with your team members, and most important as I was fresher I didn't have that much idea about corporate life this gave me my first corporate life experience
