EPAM Systems

Screening round focused on coding: 1. Merge two sorted arrays without streams or built-in functions, 2. followed by a Java Stream API-based problem to convert a given String into another string.

The technical interview was divided into two phases. It began with an introduction and questions based on my resume and project experience. The first phase lasted approximately 45 minutes and focused on Generative AI, including LLMs, tokens, transformers, text embeddings, prompting techniques, RAG, data storage, retrieval and cloud deployment. The second phase focused on Python, FastAPI and DSA. It included questions about Python data types, dictionary comprehensions, decorators, lists versus tuples and coding problems involving grouping anagrams and processing nested lists of tuples. Overall, the experience was positive. The interviewer was calm, polite and patient. He listened carefully, allowed sufficient time to think and provided helpful guidance when required.

I've applied through their career portal and got a call from a hr within a day and scheduled a technical interview within 3 days. The interview was scheduled for 1 and half and hr. It was for automation testing in JS. And post clearing that will be having a second round. Then the final will be the HR interview.

Miss management for interview process. I waited 4hr for my first round. And the interviewer want text book definition of everything(java and selenium). Coding round is paper and pencil which the same interviewer want to see his logic only. As observed the same interviewer took 10-15 candidates for playwright and JavaScript none selected, same for selenium and java. The interview took for 1hr. Hr updating first round interview results post 2-3hr of the round.

It was decent They asked me 4 coding questions And also clear explanation on projects They will check how well do you understand your project They also asked about the ai, agile, testing
