I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Bucarest, ) in Nov 2024
Interview
The process had 4 steps, two of them being technical:
1. HR screening, overview of my experience and potential fit
2. Technical interview with an EPAM representative
3. Technical + soft skills interview with more project representative: tech lead + PM
4. Final HR discussion
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Design a RESTful API that performs the CRUD operations over a given entity
1st interview was phone screening with talent acquisition with the usual HR questions. 2nd interview was a technical interview based on Java which resolved around technical questions and some coding. Technical questions were very hard but the interviewer was very kind and explained everything in detail if I didn‘t get some stuff quite right. After that I got confirmed that I‘m in the pipeline and am available to interview with clients. Client interviews weren‘t too hard.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Singapour) in Oct 2025
Interview
The second interview was difficult and I was not told that the kind of interview that I'd be facing on. Although I managed to answer everything verbally, I couldn't finish the written question on time. Interviewer is from overseas. He didn't have any idea about the project that I'd be working on and he was asking mostly theory questions. recruiter told me there are 5 stages. in a way glad I didn't get selected after all the hard work so I wouldn't waste my time with this company anymore.
