Good and structured interview process
CandidateApplied at EPAM Systems (Switzerland) GmbH in 2025 and was deferred.
Interview questions
- There weren't questions about myself as a person, only regarding my experience; maybe this is a feedback for the recruiters: start by asking the interviewees first about themselfes and after that jump to experience
- I had questions about my experience, challanges, my achievements.
- Technical questions related to my field of expertiese

Suggestions for improvement
As a small suggestion for improvement, providing candidates with a bit more information on:
the main tools and frameworks commonly used and the transversal skills that are particularly valued,
would help candidates better prepare and showcase their abilities during the process.

Great process and always kept me in the loop
CandidateApplied as Senior Java Engineer at EPAM Systems (Switzerland) GmbH in 2025 and was hired.
Interview questions
- What my interests are, past projects, etc.
- The technical interview was very hard as we dove deep into Java internals and technicalities. The interviewer was very nice, however, as he explained me everything I didn't (fully) know. This further confirmed me that EPAM has a culture of learning.

Enttäuschender Bewerbungsprozess - fehlende Transparenz und schlechte Kommunikation
CandidateApplied as Site Reliability Engineer at EPAM Systems in Zürich, Kanton Zürich in 2025 and was deferred.
Suggestions for improvement
Ich habe einen sehr langen und zeitintensiven Bewerbungsprozess durchlaufen für eine projektbezogene Position mit einem externen Kunden. Das erste technische Interview mit dem Unternehmen selbst war sehr positiv und professionell. Leider war der weitere Verlauf - insbesondere die Gespräche mit dem Kunden, das genaue Gegenteil: unstrukturiert, unangenehm und in Teilen unprofessionell. Es wurde im Vorfeld kaum Information darüber gegeben, was mich im Interview erwartet, wer teilnehmen würde oder welche Inhalte besprochen werden.
Besonders enttäuschend war die Rückmeldung nach dem gesamten Prozess: Obwohl meine fachlichen Qualifikationen und mein persönlicher Eindruck sehr gelobt wurden, hat man sich letztlich für eine interne Besetzung entschieden. Dass dies überhaupt eine Option war, wurde zu keinem Zeitpunkt kommuniziert. Eine solch grundlegende Information hätte man von Anfang an offenlegen sollen- das wäre fair gewesen und hätte mir möglicherweise viele Stunden Vorbereitung erspart.
Insgesamt war der Bewerbungsprozess leider eine sehr negative Erfahrung. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass das Unternehmen in Zukunft mit Bewerber*innen offener, strukturierter und respektvoller kommuniziert.

Fake Positionen und Zeitverschwendung

Suggestions for improvement
- Keine nicht existenten Positionen ausschreiben?!
- Ausserdem würde es helfen, wenn die Bewerbungsmaske auf der eigenen Website funktioniert.
- Zusätzlich gibt es auch keine Kontaktmöglichkeit für Bewerbungen. Ich musste per Support Request Kontakt aufnehmen.
