I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EPAM Systems (Chennai) in May 2017
Interview
I attended 2 rounds of interview[total 4 rounds]. First round was good and the interviewer was very friendly. He asked some basic Java questions. Now the shock came in the second round. It was supposed to be a testing related interview. However the moment I entered the interviewer's cabin just after greeting me, he told me that the previous interviewer was very junior than him. Since they were short of panel so he was requested to take the interview. Then he asked me to test the code which I had written in the previous round. So I started by telling him the boundary conditions and validity of the input set. However he interrupted me and told me that this code cannot be tested even though I could write JUnit tests to test that code. After this he did not ask me a single technical question and instead asked me why I don't want to be a developer. even though the JD had selenium written all over it but he told that the work might involve spring and hibernate frameworks. He told that EPAM does not see if a person is from an small company like Cognizant (even though Cognizant is 11 times bigger than EPAM) and EPAM is not a typical service provider company. At the end, he told me that Google and Microsoft are the clients of EPAM (I am yet to verify this). That day I realised how one wrong fit could win bad name for an entire organisation. Had I cleared this round , there would have been an Skype interview with there team from Belarus. Just wasted few more hours of my life attending this night mare.

Interview
My first round went through with most questions answered and a few not answered with proper syntax. Recruiter did not even let me know of the negative feedback. I had called several times. Is this how people are to be treated now. Ask this to yourselves.

Interview
they ask everything as if qa are developers,
for qa tools, they don't know the answer will check google and sees if answer is exactly as in google or else rject..e.g asked me in playwright how to handle multiple windows or tabs code, i have written like page.goto(url), page.locator('a').click() (as we don't ahve nay loc, general linktag i took), page.waitfor() (as i don't remeber wait methods i kept wait for and left), page.loator(childwin).isattached() but the interviewer say this is no match at all to google code, they saying i need to use promise to wait for page event to redirect and then use variable to capture window and then switch,
