Extremely Unprofessional and Disorganized Interview Process Interview Experience: ⭐☆☆☆☆ (Very Negative) I had a very disappointing experience interviewing with EPAM. The entire process was poorly managed and uncoordinated and caused a significant waste of my time and effort. Here’s my experience in brief: Initial Rounds: The process started well — I had a live coding round (virtual), followed by a technical L1 round that lasted around 100 minutes. Both went fine, and after two weeks, I was called for a face-to-face technical round, which I also cleared. Communication Issues & Delays: After clearing the face-to-face round, the HR informed me I’d have a client interview the following week. However, no update came for weeks. I was on my notice period at that time, and my last working day was October 3rd, which I had clearly informed them about. Despite this, HR reached out three weeks later, scheduling a project fitment round just a few days before my last working day. Irrelevant Project Fitment: Even though my profile was clearly for a Java Backend Developer, they proposed me for a Full Stack project and asked React-related questions, which isn’t my area of expertise. Unsurprisingly, I was rejected for that round. Further Delays & Poor Coordination: After that, HR said they were proposing my profile for another client, with two client rounds planned between 6th–10th October (virtually). However, on 9th October, HR informed me they couldn’t get any client slots that week — despite having almost a month since my previous round. Later, she said the rounds would now be face-to-face on the same day and even asked me to postpone my next joining, which was scheduled for 13th October. Due to this sudden change, I had to request an extension for my joining, and as per company policy, it got extended by a week — all because of EPAM’s poor planning and last-minute communication. Terrible Onsite Experience: On the interview day, I reached at 10 AM. My first round started at 11 AM, and after that, I was left waiting until 4 PM for the next round. No clear process, no communication — just sitting idle for hours. It was exhausting and unprofessional. Eventually, I was rejected. Repeated & Irrelevant HR Calls: To make it worse, every time HR called me, she asked the same questions repeatedly (“How many offers do you have?”, “Why are you not joining the other organization?”). I was asked the same things four or more times, with no real progress or clarity on the next steps. Final Thoughts: EPAM seriously needs to streamline its interview and client coordination process. The experience was chaotic, time-consuming, and frustrating. Candidates invest their time and effort sincerely, but the company must also respect that.
