Pros

- They accept contractors - Competitive salary - A lot of internal tools - Ability to level up after an technical interview

Cons

FALSE PROMISES, THEY LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH - I was hired under the premise of an internal transfer to the US via L1B visa (even got an offer as an extension to my contract saying so), oops, just got a mail saying the demand is low, we expect delays (aka never), tough luck. We are HUNDREDS hired under this premise and only 2 open positions in the US from Epam visible on our internal platform. - The managers/HRs advertise how you can change the project if the current one doesn't suit your needs. Technically you can do that, in reality there is no project to be moved to. Same as for relocation.. - Delivery manages care only about the client. - Lot of east european clients/colleagues

Pros

If you are lucky you can be proposed to a project that allows you to gain new skills and learn new things. Sadly 80% of the time people get assigned to projects where there are no challenges.

Cons

People are generally not compensated well enough. Your performance counts nothing towards getting a raise.
