      Associate Software Engineer (GenC) Interview

      8 Jan 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Cognizant in Nov 2024

      Interview

      The interview process was conducted offline on our campus and completed in a single day. It began with a quick introduction, where the interviewer focused on topics related to the candidate’s assigned cluster. Most of the questions were based on the cluster itself, so thorough preparation is essential. The process included technical questions, particularly on Java (as it was part of my cluster) and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) fundamentals. Additionally, candidates were given coding problems, such as solving a hashing-based problem using a hash table and sorting tasks like arranging fruits based on their initial letters using algorithms such as Bubble Sort or Merge Sort. The interview also included a few behavioral questions, and the entire process lasted approximately an hour.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Explain me how the code is executed in Java and also brief me about JDK and JRE.

      The initial process went smoothly, but the interviewer who took my interview came with the intention to not hire. Asked all not so fresher friendly questions. After the interview, they didn't even mail regarding the verdict.
