I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EPAM Systems
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and invited me to interview, which at first seemed genuine and professional. The conversation was in English, focused on my background and skills, and they even showed me a few potential roles to discuss which one I preferred. This gave me the impression that I would likely move forward in the process.
However, by the end of the interview, I was told my skills weren’t enough and that they might contact me in the future if a more suitable role opened up. They never followed up, yet the same positions keep being reposted. It left me wondering why they contacted me in the first place if only to say I wasn’t enough for the role. Overall, it felt more like a ghost posting than a job offer that I was really expecting.

Interview
The interview focused on deep knowledge of React and JavaScript fundamentals. I was asked about how React works internally, including React Fiber, the virtual DOM, rendering, reconciliation, and different ways of managing state. On the JavaScript side, questions covered prototypes, closures, context, the event loop, and promises with their utility functions. The process also included basic web security topics such as common attacks and CORS policies, as well as software design principles, including design patterns and the application of SOLID.
