I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Stamford, CT)
Interview
HR was very professional & shared all details upfront. Had 3 rounds of interviews: HR, Technical & Client Interview. Even if you're skill-set does not match the role, they recommend you for a different role. I was initially interviewed initially for a lead developer kind of a role, which clearly didn't head well for the both of us. They were quick to identify a role closer to Solution Architecture and the likes as that was my strong suite. Compensation vice also, they match the market standards based on your skills. If you're highly skilled you would get the package you propose or at least closer + Bonus. H1B visa transfer done in premium & they take care of relocation + stay if you were to relocate.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Total time waste, and highly unprofessional behavior.
The process started with initial discussion with TA/HR. Then was first technical round for 1.5 hours which included my experiences so far, project details, Python questions, advanced concepts of AI, ML, Python and Cloud. Then was live coding - design LRU cache; recursive function problem.
Then I was scheduled after two weeks for the managerial round. However, in that round also they asked full technical questions and did a live coding again (Que- design singleton class; sliding window problem). This round also lasted 1.5 hours.
After 1 week, I was informed that I cleared second round also, and was scheduled for third round (supposed to be managerial). This was rescheduled twice due to managers unavailability and then abruptly cancelled third time.
Now that HR is not responding to my calls, emails and messages.

I applied online. I interviewed at EPAM Systems in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of a single technical round conducted virtually.
The interviewer started with basic Java concepts, then moved on to Java 8 (Streams & Collections), followed by a DSA problem, and ended with an SQL query.
The discussion was interactive, with follow-up questions on edge cases, time complexity, and approach.
Overall, the interview focused more on problem-solving and core fundamentals rather than frameworks
