I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Pittsburgh, PA) in Dec 2019
Interview
They did an objective question round, 1.5 hour coding round, 1 hour interview round. Then they give a project to do data mgmt creation in spark for a consulting job!!! with average salary. Finally said, the client has stopped the slot and am I fine with different location. After wasting my time for 6 hours the HR does not even bother to reply. Bad experience and will let my friends know to avoid EPAM.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter through Linkedin, After interview was informed its positive result, asked me join on receipt on H1b transfer receipt and also told the SOW was expired so its risky to join on receipt. Felt like total waste of time, if SOW is expired for client there is no point in conducting interview for the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you count number of elements in a spark Sequence,
how can you avoid data being called twice due to lazy,evaluation
Aggregate vs reduce by when to use what
Contacted by recruiter who spent 1 hour explaining me so much about the company. Technical round was to write code and answer out of the blue interview questions on big data. Tried explaining him my current work in detail instead but he didnt care. Not very sad on being rejected by this company.
