Cognizant Technology Solutions — offer letter not received / fake promises

I had my interview without a cts at kochi on july 13th and was selected on the same day. I had the amcat test for java spring and hibernate and i think i performed well in the test that they took me and another interviewee directly for the hr round and said we need not give the technical round. I was asked to fill up the cis form post which i was called for the hr interview.

Now i am a candidate who has worked with wipro for over 6 years post which i had to take a career break due to spouse relocation and kids.

Irrespective of all this i had always ensured that i kept mysel[censored]pdated with the latest technology skills and even learnt the angular framework and i am currently freelancing as an it trainer and developer.

All these details were discussed with hr and finally hr told me that i was selected and that i would receive my offer letter in 2 weeks.

Now it’s been a month and absolutely no signs of the offer letter. On following up with hr, they sent a reply saying they are working on my offer and that i would receive the same shortly... Post that i got an invite for a live interview and was told to fill up a form and upload my photo and submit the same. The hr told me that i need to attend the interview as i have already completed the hr round and so i just need to fill up the form and submit. I did the same.

The very next day when i called the hr for an update, she started with an entirely different story and said that since i have a break in career i would have to take up a technical interview to be selected.

I don’t understand what cognizant thinks of candidates. Why does cognizant even call candidates if you think career break is a problem? Why do you waste our time and effort? Did i say i would not go through a technical interview on july 13th? It was you who decided that i should directly give the hr interview based on my performance in amcat and do you think clearing amcat with a good score can be possible by anyone who has no knowledge of programming concepts?
Why should i agree for a technical interview now after a month?

What is the kind of professional ethics that you follow? Is your intention only to harass candidates in the name of a job offer? I declined two job offers because i wanted to join cognizant and because i was offered the same by cognizant.

What’s even more frustrating is that’s i am being called again and again by some other hrs of cognizant for the same opening every single weekend. Does cognizant even have enough projects i doubt now? Are you trying to hold interviews just to show the outside world that you are still worth it?

With deep regret all i have got to say to anyone who attends an interview with this organisation is please do not trust them at any cost. And it is absolutely not worth working for such an insensitive organisation.
