I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Danzig) in Jul 2022
Interview
I was found by a Sourcer in LI and offered a possibility to take part in the interview for a Delivery Manager position. There were 3 steps: 1 with a Recruiter, 1 with 2 Delivery Managers and 1 with 2 Managers.
In first interview and didn't get much information about the role, during the 2nd interview technical guys had nice questions, in 3rd interview it came out that I should apply for different position.
The overall process was bad:
1. Long process (1month +),
2. Lack of feedback after any of steps
3. Contact only via email
4. No try to build any bond with a candidate at any step
5. Final response (after 3rd interview) sent only as an automatic email
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How will you start a team or project?
2. How to you measure project's effectiveness

Interview
Recently gave interview for EPAM Systems, Poland. There 3 rounds
1. Screening round with HR
2. Technical Round for 1.5 hours to 2 hours
3. Manager Round
1. Screening round with HR : To understand the candidates expectation in terms of salary, notice period. Also HR will evaluate candidate communication & attitude. If it goes smooth then, HR team will schedule the next round of interview
2. Technical Round:
This is most important round, based on it only EPAM team will proceed further. This round is for minimum 1.5 hours and can go up to 2 hours. To clear the EPAM, candidate should have hands-on experience, otherwise it is very difficult to clear. Interview starts with basic Java program to understand for-loop & simple logic and then go for difficult level of program. All 4 Java OOPS concept will cover in Java interview, so be prepared. Database simple query Inner/Outer join. Selenium different locator, will give sample web application and need to write different locator, Xpath, CssSelector etc. Selenium-Wait CI/CD - Jenkins question, Git - Basic to difficult. Manual Testing : Test Plan. If you are applying for Lead position then scenarios based questions. If you are technical hands-on experience then you will really enjoy this interview for sure.
3. Manager Round:
Very decent round, 1-2 technical question may get ask by Manager, it is purely based on Technical round ratings. Manager will explain about the work environment, culture, kind of work which company. Salary structure etc.
EPAM HR is very fast in process as compare to any other IT company resides in Poland. Anyways it is with every company, If you are doing good in interview then HR team is going to entertain you.

Interview
I have passed lots of interviews, but cannot forget my experience with Epam.
After the second round, the recruiter sent me the feedback provided by the interviewer. For each type of skills there were suggestions and what's more amazing, is that there were links to the books which would make my skills better.
