I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Sep 2025
Interview
It was easy, basic python theory and coding questions (asked about packages,libraries,modules,list,tuples,predict the output type questions,and one coding question move zeros to the end].And some behavioural questions.and willingness to work in other locations.
Initially started with Communication round done online then java and sql ,gave time for Spring boot then conducted interview for spring, springboot related topics.
Oops in java , sub queries in sql are asked to execute in a compiler
The interview went smoothly. They were looking for a candidate with basic knowledge across different topics. I was asked one DSA question on finding the highest frequency character, along with questions on SQL, OOPs, and DBMS.
