I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Saint-Pétersbourg, ) in Nov 2018
Interview
Contacted by the HR person, then, after a preliminary phone discussion invited for an in-person interview. Talked to the resource manager and two other people who were connected by remote voice call. Had a glance at the office, went on my way.
Primary impression from the interview process: Good amenities and overall technical level, but an aggressively sterile work environment - minimal human touch (no personal items at the workplace), all decisions passed from top to bottom, projects are varied but not always viable. An excellent, top of the line body shop.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about experience with different virtualization stacks and certain scenarios when working with those.
O entrevistador foi gentil na entrevista mas as perguntas eram genéricas e rasas. A entrevista fácil porém não tive respostas do entrevistador que falou que teria um retorno em até uma semana
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Bogotá, Bogota) in Apr 2026
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and we had a screening call where we discussed the basic aspects fo the role and my expectations.
Then, I had a technical interview, a spoken, fluent and very cool interview where the interviewer asked questions about Devops, AWS, Terraform, kubernetes, scripting, and at the end a very cool challenge to create a python script.
The final phase was a managerial interview. It was one of the worst experiences I have had in interviews. The "manager" had a horrible attitude, to the point that he didn't even say hello when he joined the call, he just started asking tricky questions about security in AWS services, EKS, even though this was not the only requirement for the position. At the end he asked me questions about LLMs and MCP integrations (what was not mentioned in any previous stage).
