Also it would be really helpful if any
experience is shared regarding what
kind of questions are expected for
this assessment.
Hello Guys,
I joined Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?
As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

Idk how I feel about the love bracelet.
Could you just speak to how you'd like to improve the product? That way they can get a sense of how you think and bring things to life, and you're not doing spec work/they can't just take your design and pass on you.
I personally don’t mind doing free work if it’s going to open the door to a conversation I want to have. If I went this route, I wouldn’t let them use the work though, it’s just to show the skills. I’ve heard of some sketchy companies just taking your work but I don’t believe it’s the norm.
A real redesign project though, has to be in response to a problem. Either stated by the customer, new regulations, competition, etc. For me to see value in your redesign, I would like to see that you deeply understand the product, the brand, the customer, etc. So a successful redesign would include research and documentation around your design decisions. Otherwise, it just shows me that you do pretty things, but I don’t know if you actually solve business problems. Now that sounds like a big investment just to interview, so I’d probably find an alternate way of getting their attention. Personally, I’d write about the problems I see with their current packaging, do some light research and not redesign anything. Just show them that I understand the challenge, which IMO is the hardest part.
This is great advice, thank you!
I tend to agree with Consultant 1. While I have known people who had their work on "assignments" used by the company/manager where they were applying, I think this is rare. As long as what they are asking me to do only takes me a few hours, I will do it. I had one company give me one of their dashboards and I completely redesigned it, resolving multiple usability and information architecture issues, and they offered me a job.
If you are worried, one alternative is to redesign the packaging (etc) from a different, well known company. This shows your skills without actually "giving away" something of value to your potential employer.
