I applied online. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Kraków) in Oct 2020
Interview
Poor interview experience: they value theoretical knowledge of ISTQB terms over practical knowledge and ability to think systematically and in a proper manner. The interview lasted for 2h during which there were only 2 practical tasks: simple SQL query and test scenarios for search functionality of an e-commerce website.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at EPAM Systems in Nov 2020
Interview
I had cleared the initial round and next was online Teams round .
—The interview was scheduled in 30 mins immediately after calling.
—The interviewer directly started with questions of Java 8, spring ,DS
-I was able answer 70% of the questions
-Interviewer never acknowledged if I was right or not (I didn’t expect ) but when the answer was wrong or not satisfied. He was taunting like “Oh you have not worked on this”
Almost 10 times in interview this word was used when morally takes us down
-Interviewer was googling n asking questions .so he was expecting google answer but not the conceptual knowledge
-multiple question was asked on Linear list
-pseudo code was asked for 2-3 programs which I was able to answer
-multiple theory questions was asking on spring
If couldn’t answer completely but if I would attempt to answer then sarcastic comment which took me down
-he gave some program and ask to give optimised best solution in 15 mins
But after starting after he 2 mins he would intervene and he was asking this approach is not optimised and asked to use some other approach
I was not allowed to complete my approach Atleast .i might be give right or wrong or less optimised solution but anyone interrupting will definitely distract u
At 14th min he gave some hint and when I start implementing he said time is over
It was very uncomfortable interview though questions were good I don’t think interviewer should be sarcastic or taunting while taking interview
Overall it was a poor experience though I learned abt my strengths
Suggestion- if someone is not able to answer doesn’t mean he don’t know anything.please avoid sarcastic comments
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Zürich) in Oct 2020
Interview
interview process up until technical interview straight forward. Technical interview conducted by belarusian pega specialist with such accent that at times was hard to understand some words. Questions asked varied away from position requirement of Pega. After the interview no feedback at all. They never cold nor bothered to send an email updating with status of the process. Worse than a number of indian HR agencies/agents or some indian companies process. Definitely will think twice before wasting my time with them next time.
