EPAM Systems interview questions

The interview process started with a recruiter pre-screening call to discuss my background, experience in machine learning and AI, and role expectations. This was followed by a coding session where I solved algorithmic and programming problems. Additional technical interviews focused on machine learning concepts, system design, model development, and practical AI applications. The process also included discussions about previous projects and problem-solving approaches.

Cleared 3 technical interview rounds and was initially informed that I would be considered for a Technical Lead role managing a team of 5. However, after the interviews, the recruitment process became unclear and prolonged. The offered grade and CTC were revised downward multiple times despite earlier discussions. Several additional discussions and interviews were scheduled, including a client round for technologies outside my 10+ years of core experience. The communication was inconsistent, with frequent delays in responses and changing expectations. Overall, the experience felt unstructured and resulted in significant time investment without transparency regarding the final hiring decision and compensation.
