I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Minsk) in Sep 2013
Interview
First HR interview, then phone interview: technical questions, specifically on Java related topics. On HR interview you are asked for previous projects, past experience and your strong and weak skills. They ask about you motivations and why did you decide to go to Epam Systems. Then if everything is ok you proceed with technical interview. I was interviewed by phone, and interviewer was very smart, knew a lot of things about Java and concurrency particularly. He asked about mutability and collections, then jumped to multithreading
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Total time waste, and highly unprofessional behavior.
The process started with initial discussion with TA/HR. Then was first technical round for 1.5 hours which included my experiences so far, project details, Python questions, advanced concepts of AI, ML, Python and Cloud. Then was live coding - design LRU cache; recursive function problem.
Then I was scheduled after two weeks for the managerial round. However, in that round also they asked full technical questions and did a live coding again (Que- design singleton class; sliding window problem). This round also lasted 1.5 hours.
After 1 week, I was informed that I cleared second round also, and was scheduled for third round (supposed to be managerial). This was rescheduled twice due to managers unavailability and then abruptly cancelled third time.
Now that HR is not responding to my calls, emails and messages.

I applied online. I interviewed at EPAM Systems in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of a single technical round conducted virtually.
The interviewer started with basic Java concepts, then moved on to Java 8 (Streams & Collections), followed by a DSA problem, and ended with an SQL query.
The discussion was interactive, with follow-up questions on edge cases, time complexity, and approach.
Overall, the interview focused more on problem-solving and core fundamentals rather than frameworks
