HR Round : Didnt Happen
I endured a grueling virtual interview process for Pune location that involved a coding test and two in-depth technical rounds covering a wide range of topics including Python, SQL, Spark, Pyspark, AWS, Databricks, warehousing, and more. To my utter disbelief, after investing a total of 3.5 hours and clearing all these rounds, a manager dismissed me as 'technically unfit' following a superficial 20-minute discussion for unknown reasons.
It's clear this company has no regard for candidates' time or effort. To be rejected so abruptly after such a rigorous evaluation is insulting. The HR representative expressed astonishment at the manager's decision, stating they were 'disappointed' and 'surprised' by the outcome. Unfortunately, they informed me that the manager's decision was final and couldn't be overruled. It’s unacceptable for a single individual to hold such power and make such reckless decisions. It seems you dont trust your own hiring process.
I strongly advise anyone considering this company (particularly in India) to exercise extreme caution. Beyond the questionable interview process, this company has a infamous reputation for its hire-and-fire policies. Only proceed if you have exhausted all other options.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Hyderâbâd) in May 2026

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Bengaluru) in May 2026
Interview
Interview had almost 5 rounds with 2 codility test and 3 face to face interview. Technical interviews were good but the manager I interviewed with was very rude and ill spoken. At the end I got a positive feedback but I need to appear for another client interview after few days. But that never happened. Shocking thing is not even a single candidate was selected that day everyone got the same feedback as me and I am guessing no further process happened. Not sure what was the point of the whole process I am half expecting the company to be a fake one.
