Application
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.
