Interview
Interview process takes 4 steps.
1 - 30 minutes call with the HR consultant. General questions about relevant knowledge and experiences aggregate for the opening.
2 - Technical interview with Senior specialist or manager in the area. A lot of practical questions related to your previous experience and how you handle situations.
3 - Manager of the area preparation for the clients interview. No questions or little about you. Take notes and do home work about the client.
4 - Interview with the client, multiple people. In my case, they structured the interview in two rounds. First talking about me and experiences and second is a practical test.

Question 1
Tell about yourself?
What tools do you use for data modeling? What techniques?
What is the big challenge of working with agile in your experience?
How do you handle scope creep?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at EPAM Systems in Jan 2020
Interview
The complete process is really long. Many interviews and a slow and not agile process. How can a company who is evaluating a candidate on agile matters can not implement these principles internally? I believe they are looking for the perfect fit before making you an offer. In my opinion there is never a perfect fit , people can always and should always learn on the way. I guess they never consider people as the most important part of their processes and they are not an agile company at all.
If you like to really work with agile, look for companies who were born with digital culture, otherwise is a fake.
