Not a good company to work with

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly colleagues, flexible work arrangement

Cons

Employees are valued primarily while they are billable. Once a client releases an employee, EPAM does not provide the promised support, and there is no bench facility available. Additionally, EPAM has very limited client presence in Singapore—essentially relying on a single major client. If that client releases you, it is likely to be your final engagement with EPAM. Moreover, the compensation offered is below current market standards.
