Full Experience
My first-round interview for a Senior Software Engineer - Java role at EPAM took place in July 2024 and lasted 1.5 hours. The interview commenced with a basic introduction, then quickly transitioned into core Java features. There was a significant focus on streams, functional interfaces, and lambda expressions, and I was asked to solve 4-5 problems exclusively using Java streams. Following this, the interviewer delved into Java/JVM internals, garbage collection (GC), and the concept of immutable classes, grilling me thoroughly on these topics.
The latter part of the interview shifted to Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). I was required to write and execute working code for two specific problems.
