      Instability and short term projects

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      NONE that i can recall

      Cons

      1) No Stability - once you are on bench, anything can happen you are asked to interview again.. a lot of internal interviews then with clients, its all hectic coz in EPAM most projects wont cross 6months mark, so u r in this loop again and again, and they can fire you aswell if there are no much projects 2) Shorterm Projects - It’s basically interview, interview, and more interviews. That’s the cycle here since most projects end within 6 months. 3) Short Employee Tenures - The majority of people here don’t stay beyond a year. Check other reviews as well and decide accordingly. 4) My Experience - I left within 6months after joining and our project ended just a month after me leaving.

      Growing Together with EPAM

      Lead data engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I joined EPAM in 2020 as a Lead Data Engineer, and since then, I’ve been able to work on some really exciting projects in industries like Life Sciences, Hi-Tech, and Consumer Brands. Along the way, I’ve gained hands-on experience with tools like Databricks, Palantir Foundry, AWS, and Azure, which have helped me grow from Data Engineering into Data Platform Engineering and later to an AI Engineer. One thing I really value here is the Unified Assessment process—it’s transparent, guided by experts, and has played a big role in helping me shape my career path.

      Cons

      - Frequent changes on the management side.

      Good Company to work

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Career and Professional Growth Diverse and Challenging Projects: EPAM is known for working with major global clients across various industries (like finance, media, and healthcare). This provides employees with the opportunity to work on diverse, complex, and impactful projects, preventing stagnation. Emphasis on Learning and Development: EPAM places a strong focus on continuous learning. They offer extensive internal and external training programs, mentorship opportunities, and support for professional certifications. This helps employees stay up-to-date with the latest technologies. "Engineering DNA" and Expertise: The company has a reputation for its deep-rooted engineering culture. Employees can learn from highly skilled colleagues and technical leaders, which can be a significant benefit for career growth, especially for those in technical roles. Global Exposure and Relocation Opportunities: With offices in over 55 countries, EPAM offers the chance to work with global teams and, in some cases, provides opportunities for international relocation through programs like "EPAM without Borders."

      Cons

      Based on analysis of public employee reviews and industry discussions, here are some of the commonly cited "cons" or drawbacks of working at EPAM Systems. Job Stability and "Bench" Time Project-Based Job Security: As a professional services company, EPAM's business model is project-driven. This means an employee's job security can be tied to the company's ability to win new client projects. This can lead to periods of being "on the bench" (not assigned to a project), which can create anxiety and uncertainty for employees. Risk of Layoffs: When the market slows down or a client project is completed, employees on the bench for too long may be at a higher risk of being laid off. This is a common concern in the IT services industry, but it's a frequent topic in discussions about EPAM. Uncertainty with Client-Side Interviews: Even after being hired by EPAM, employees often need to go through an additional technical interview with the client to be assigned to a project. Some employees have reported that this process can be difficult and that they were rejected by the client after multiple rounds, leaving them on the bench.
