Entrevista
I recently interviewed for a Senior JavaScript Developer position at EPAM, and my experience was disappointing. The interview process included questions on React, pure JavaScript, HTML, CSS, databases, AWS, and backend topics—some of which were not originally part of the job scope. Despite answering all questions well, completing two pure JavaScript exercises correctly, and receiving positive feedback from the interviewer about my broad knowledge, I was unexpectedly rejected.
I was not given any constructive feedback or reasons for the rejection, which made the experience feel unfair and untransparent. If EPAM has specific expectations beyond the stated job description, they should communicate them clearly upfront.

One thing that stood out was the unexpected range of topics covered during the interview. While the role was for a Senior JavaScript Developer position, the interview went beyond just JavaScript and React, covering HTML, CSS, databases, AWS, and even backend technologies. One of the more surprising parts was that they had two exercises focused purely on JavaScript, which I answered correctly. Despite feeling confident about my answers and the positive feedback from the interviewers, I was shocked to learn later that I wasn’t selected for the role.

Entrevista
I had a week to prepare for this interview. For 90 minutes I was answering questions on Javascript, Typescript, Angular and CSS. Some of the questions were tricky, but for a well prepared candidate there should be no problem. There was no DSA questions, only some pair programming on Angular forms. The interviewer was another frontend developer, he was pleasant so it was an overall nice experience.
