👆great first question for any interview.

- Why is the position open? (Could be someone left, or a new business win. Both of which prompt follow ups.)

- What do you think is required for success from the person who fills this role? Are there any particular traits that have led people to success (or hindered them) in this role in the past?

- Tell me about a piece of work you’re proud of, that reflects the direction the agency is headed.

- No place is perfect. What do you think the agency / department could improve upon?

Hi folks,
I recently completed my technical interview with epam anywhere and I got selected in that. Now HR told me that I have one more project interview round which is also technical. In my epam profile it's showing that it's an offer interview. My HR told for functional testing it's a project interview instead of offer interview. I really confused about this and why should I take another Technical round even after clearing 1.5 hrs technical round. Can anyone share details of it?
