      Junior Java Developer Interview

      15 Oct 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Pune
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Pune) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      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.

      I interviewed at EPAM Systems

      Interview

      The interviewer did not follow the list of topics that was sent to me for preparation. The questions felt random and not connected to each other. When I needed a short moment to think and choose the right words, there was no support or guidance. I was also accused of using prompts, but no proof was given. I strongly disagree with this claim. For the technical task, I was given only 15 minutes, even though 30 minutes had been mentioned before. When time was almost over, I explained that I was very close to finishing and clearly described my solution and thinking process. The interviewer asked one more question about my solution, and I answered it correctly. So saying that I did not complete the task is not accurate. In my opinion, the interviewer did not seem interested and did not answer my questions clearly. Overall, my experience was negative from the beginning.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Bengaluru) in Feb 2026

      Interview

      The recruitment process was conducted as a pool campus drive with participation from multiple colleges. The first round was an online assessment, which I cleared successfully. The second round was an in-person pen-and-paper coding test that began around 10:30 AM, and results were announced around 2:00 PM. Approximately 400 students appeared for this round, and around 30 candidates were shortlisted. The pen-and-paper round focused more on object-oriented programming concepts rather than traditional DSA. Candidates were asked to design a system using abstraction and inheritance principles. After the written round, the shortlisted candidates proceeded to an in-person technical interview. The overall process was structured and competitive, with a strong emphasis on core OOP fundamentals and logical thinking rather than pure algorithmic problems. I appeared for the interview in February 2026 in Bangalore. Based on what seniors had shared, earlier batches were typically asked more DSA-focused questions. However, in my case, the focus shifted more toward object-oriented design and abstraction concepts rather than traditional algorithm-based problems. The overall emphasis was on OOP fundamentals, class hierarchy design, and clarity of implementation.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      In the pen-and-paper round, all candidates were given the same problem statement. I am not entirely certain if this was the exact wording, but the core requirement was to design a system using abstraction and inheritance principles. Specifically, I had to create an abstract class named Hospital, define abstract methods such as getDescription(), and declare the required variables. Then, I needed to create a Person class with a string variable name, extend it into a Patient class, and override the getDescription() method. Additionally, I was asked to implement simple logic such as retrieving the next patient based on priority. The focus of the question was mainly on understanding abstraction, method overriding, class hierarchy, and applying basic low-level design concepts rather than solving a pure data structures problem.
