J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Cognizant (Hyderâbâd) en oct. 2023
Entretien
The interview was good as I was on time and through college placements, cleared the assessment and got the interview schedule a week later.
Greetings happened at first, I was questioned on behavioral questions and situational questions first like what would you do if something goes bad in your team, how you would manage pressure. Then asked the technical python questions as I mentioned python as my language and cleared assessment with same. About modules and a problem to display my skills and finally to rate my knowledge in python. Done in 30-40 minutes.
