Hi Everyone,

I am done with technical interview last week Friday on DevOps but still I haven't received any call.

I sent two emails to the team who scheduled this interview but no response yet and also called one HR who scheduled this interview, she said they just scheduled the interview they don't have any idea about feedback.

Can you guys please let me know whether cognizant informs candidate about feedback or not ?

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

I have about 15 years of experience in tech with 2 years as head of product in a startup. I'm trying to find a new leadership role which is proving to be very difficult. My applications seem to get rejected because I don't meet the "minimum X number of years in product" requirement. I feel confident about leading a product team and believe that I have a unique blend of skills which can be applied effectively to build successful products. Any suggestions on how I could land more interviews?

Hello Fishes ,

I had a final round interview scheduled ( 2 rounds cleared ) but i somehow got confused with the timings and did not join it at the designated time. Will this lead to the cancellation of my candidature and they will not pursue further or can I be given one more chance. I informed the HR and apologized and requested for help.

Will they still consider me ? I really want to join the org. Can I do something for them to consider me again
