I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Prag) in Jul 2022
Interview
My interview consisted of two rounds. HR call & a tech interview.
Initial call with HR (told me about the company, benefits, salary expectations, etc.. The usual stuff...)
The tech interview was interesting...
Right off the bat, my interviewer seemed relatively inexperienced. We started with some theoretical questions about JS (the usual - what's an event loop, how does it work, etc.). For some reason, to each one of my answers, the interviewer kept responding with things like "Hmm, okay" and asking me another question. There was no follow-up on my answers whatsoever.
Shortly after he proceeded to ask me about "hoisting". The interviewer had a strong Russian accent and I misunderstood what he was saying so I asked if he could type it out for me. He typed it out as "hosting" (which caught me off guard a little but I played along) and I started talking about cloud hosting - which wasn't the right answer since he was trying to ask me about "hoisting"...
To his credit though, the feedback I got back was rather extensive!

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EPAM Systems in May 2022
Interview
A random interview with a tons of questions, literally a bunch of questions that does not help to identify candidates expertise and knowledge, seems that the interviewers are not well prepared and does not have a clear interview structure
Code challenge is very ambiguous and you when you try to clarify any ambiguity the interviewer thought you do not know, it's unfair.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Bucaramanga, Santander) in Jun 2022
