I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Hyderābād) in Apr 2026
Interview
Interview process was good as they have invited to their office which I thought was an F2F interview but no it was the same virtual interview drive. It was good but no proper feedback and still waiting for a reject email for the interview I have given a week ago literally.
Four Rounds:
1st Round with a foreign Client
2nd Round with an Indian Team Lead
3rd Round with an Indian Project Manager
HR Round: Yet to hear from them.
