GenC Next(Second Interview) Experience
I had my GenC Next interview. The interview went fine cause I was pretty nervous, solved 2 dsa/coding questions and one sql query in like 20 minutes. My entire interview was 50 minutes long. After all the technical questions the interview call was terminated.
Same day in the evening, I got a call from a Cognizant spokesperson saying that due to a technical difficulty my interview feedback could not be recorded so the interview will be retaken with the same panel. Luckily I was home, so I agreed to give interview in 5 mins cause it was getting late. I was high on adrenaline this time. I solved 4 coding questions in 10 minutes with theory questions on Core Java, Testing, Collections, AI, etc. with HR questions about relocation and shift timings adding total time to 30 - 35 minutes. Thanks to my adrenaline, my retaken interview went much better than the previous one.
Overall, I was satisfied with both the interviews, and thanks to the hiring team. They could have marked me absent or rejected me but retook the interview.
I hope that the results get declared soon for every college and the process doesn't get too delayed.
