They reached out to me through LinkedIn in January 2024. First, there was a meeting with the recruiter, who asked basic questions (e.g., why do you want to change your current job? Why EPAM? Describe your background and salary expectations). A week later, they scheduled a 1.5-hour meeting with a senior developer. Half of this meeting was focused on questions about OOP and Java, and the other part on coding. After a month, the recruiter told me that I did pretty well, but another candidate who was ahead in the process got the job (so they left me "on hold" if another position appears).

They started of with linked lists, design linked list get, put , delete from scratch and then find middle of linked list, followed by SQL queries easy level, in depth discussion of projects
