EPAM Systems Senior Software Engineer interview questions

The interview felt rushed and overly scripted, with little room for real conversation — more like checking boxes than assessing skills. Technical issues with the platform also caused delays and disrupted the flow. Overall, it lacked a personal or engaging touch.

The overall interview experience was quite unprofessional. After the initial HR round, the first attempt at the technical interview was canceled by the interviewer due to issues with their video setup. The interview was then rescheduled, but the second time, no one showed up at the scheduled time. It finally proceeded on the third attempt, during which the interviewer asked relevant questions related to Node.js, React, and AWS — appropriate for the Senior Software Engineer role. After the technical interview, I received positive feedback and was informed I would be moving to the next stage. However, two weeks later, I was told that the client had put the role on hold and they would get back to me in 4 to 6 weeks. Despite the timeline, I never received any further updates from the hiring team. If the client was not ready to proceed with hiring, it would have been more respectful and efficient for both parties to avoid unnecessary delays and rescheduling. This experience reflects poorly on the overall recruitment process.
