Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Be confident. If applying for cognizant be sure to prepare well for GenC elevate interview. My interview went for almost 1 hr 20 min. If you are not very confident about programming apply for GenC as the interview and process is way easier than GenC elevate. If you are out from GenC elevate process you can't appear for GenC. You are totally out of the drive. So be sure and confident before applying. There's alwys opportunity to work hard and upgrade your position in the company after joining. So be wise and be confident before throughout the interview. Don't get panic. My code did not run because of time limit exceeded limit So I was told by interviewer to dry run the code which I did. Ultimately right now I have offer from Cognizant. So even if something goes wrong be patient and calm , Don't loose hope. All the best.
