      Lead Software Engineer Interview

      13 Jun 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at EPAM Systems in Apr 2025

      Interview

      Entrevista muy poco natural. El entrevistador tenía conocimientos técnicos pero se notaba que seguía un guíon (e.g. llegué a hablar mucho sobre las Messaging Queues un par de veces porque las uso mucho, y unos minutos después me pregunta "Sabes que son las Messaging Queues?"). También se notaba muy poca atención sobre la entrevista y era aparente que no quería estar en la llamada. El entrevistador frecuentemente volteaba a hablar con alguien más mientras yo estaba dando mis respuestas. Despues de 45 min de preguntas, me pusieron un problema de leetcode (creo que de nivel fácil) pero me quedó tan poquito tiempo para resolverlo que no había manera de completarlo al menos que ya me supiera la respuesta de memoria. NOTA: La entrevista fue 100% en inglés, de principio a fin, aunque se notaba que el entrevistador hablaba español. No diría que la entrevista fué exactamente "dificil", pero si tediosa, aburrida e injusta. Al final me ghostearon completamente. No hubo feedback.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Solo recuerdo las preguntas más tediosas: * SOLID y explica cada letra. * ACID y explica cada letra. * Isolation Levels * Leadership Basic Concepts ??? * Explica WHERE vs HAVING en MySQL * Conceptos Messaging (pubsub vs point to point) * Microservice Scalability * Qué tipo de base de datos NoSQL es MongoDB? (de documentos?)

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at EPAM Systems in Dec 2025

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of a single technical round conducted virtually. The interviewer started with basic Java concepts, then moved on to Java 8 (Streams & Collections), followed by a DSA problem, and ended with an SQL query. The discussion was interactive, with follow-up questions on edge cases, time complexity, and approach. Overall, the interview focused more on problem-solving and core fundamentals rather than frameworks

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Java 8 Streams: Group employees by department and find the highest-paid employee per group.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      DSA: Rearrange a string so that no two adjacent characters are the same. Examples: "aaabbc" → valid rearrangement, "aaab" → not possible.
