EPAM Systems interview questions

After an initial conversation with the recruiter it was followed by a very easy technical interview, interviewer was friendly and overall a good experience. The process was short and they kept good and quick communication.

I was initially contacted by an EPAM recruiter via LinkedIn. The first round was a screening call where we talked about my background, experience, and salary expectations. The second round was a technical interview. It involved a mix of behavioral questions and many short technical questions related to the Cloud Support Engineer role. These questions covered a broad range of basic topics like cloud service models, networking, and Linux fundamentals. The format felt rapid-fire, with lots of brief questions rather than deep dives. After the technical round, I was told that they had “decided to hold off on the position,” even though the job posting remained open, which was confusing and disappointing. Another thing that stood out was the video call setup—they asked me to turn my camera on, but none of the interviewers turned theirs on. It felt one-sided and a bit uncomfortable, bordering on unprofessional.
