I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Bogotá, ) in Feb 2023
Interview
It started with some TL that asked for a lot of questions brought from a book, he expected that the answers were like an exam. No questions about my current job, any project, or something relevant, just questions about the ci/cd, aws (like the certification test), docker, gitlab, scrum...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you need to create when you start an instance in AWS? What is the software lifecycle? Git flow
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).
