EPAM Systems interview questions

Recruiter reached out over LinkedIn, shared information about the role and relocation details and scheduled a call for the phone screen. Prior to the phone screen, some questions about technical experiences, education, notice period, salary expectations and relocation-related questions were shared and answered via email. During the phone screen, past and current roles, skills and experiences on the CV were discussed in detail. More details about the opportunity, package, relocation etc were clarified. Next steps of the interview process were also explained. The recruiter said that the online assessment details and links will be shared the following week. However the online assessment was never shared. As the salary package being offered was much less than my expectations, I did not follow up with a reminder either.

It all started with a phone call from the HR rep. Then 3 days later a technical interview. Based on the performance results at the technical interview, a higher manager requested another interview which ended up being another technical interview. After 4 days I was told my knowledge was not good enough and they needed a more experienced person. If that was true, why waste people time and schedule that second interview?
