I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (New Delhi) in Oct 2020
Interview
I applied by sending resume directly to HR. After a week, online test was scheduled that was of 1 hour. Test had three sections, two related to testing fundamentals, Java and Selenium and third one was writing a program.
After a week, first technical round was scheduled. The round was a video call on EPAM Interview platform and it was 1.5 hour round. I cleared that round and after a week, second round was scheduled and it was again 1.5 hour video technical round.
Unfortunately, I was not able to clear the second round.
The questions that were asked in both rounds were related to Core Java, Selenium, CI/CD, Rest Assured, writing xpaths and Java programs.

The last round is a final HR interview. This includes discussions related to compensation, organizational policies, cultural fit, role expectations, and next steps before extending the offer.
If you are rejecting a candidate why you are wasting 2 hours of their time. If the candidate is not fit 30 mins sufficient to decide. One of the worst interview ever had
