EPAM Systems Data Science interview questions

A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and invited me to interview, which at first seemed genuine and professional. The conversation was in English, focused on my background and skills, and they even showed me a few potential roles to discuss which one I preferred. This gave me the impression that I would likely move forward in the process. However, by the end of the interview, I was told my skills weren’t enough and that they might contact me in the future if a more suitable role opened up. They never followed up, yet the same positions keep being reposted. It left me wondering why they contacted me in the first place if only to say I wasn’t enough for the role. Overall, it felt more like a ghost posting than a job offer that I was really expecting.

Phone interview with HR, online technical test, which included many detailed questions about data science, and a technical interview, which took 1.5 hours with detailed questions. It was time-consuming, and they ghosted me.
