Question 1
Spring boot dependency injection , java concurrency
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview experience with EPAM was extremely frustrating. The interviewer, who has 40 years of Java experience and has authored a book, clearly knows Java inside and out, particularly its syntax and backward-compatible edge cases. Unfortunately, the interview focused almost entirely on these obscure language quirks that have little relevance to practical software development today. The relentless emphasis on trivial syntactic details, rather than assessing real engineering skills or problem-solving ability, made the process tedious, nitpicky, and at times condescending. Future interviews would be far more effective if they prioritized practical coding skills and real-world engineering challenges while maintaining a professional and respectful approach.
