Pros

Solid career development framework - EPAM has a well-structured career progression path with clear expectations for each level. If you're looking to grow your skills systematically, the framework is there to support you. Diverse project exposure - Depending on the project you're assigned to, you can work with modern technologies and gain valuable experience across different domains. Professional environment - Good collaboration tools, established processes, and a generally professional workplace culture. Learning opportunities - Access to training resources and certifications that can help you develop your technical skills.

Cons

Below-market compensation - The salary is noticeably lower compared to other companies in the region and market standards for senior-level positions. This was my primary reason for exploring other opportunities. Project dependency - Your growth and day-to-day experience heavily depend on which project you're assigned to. Some projects offer cutting-edge work and great teams, while others can be less inspiring. You don't always have much control over this. Office politics - Like many large organizations, internal politics can affect decision-making and team dynamics. Navigating these dynamics becomes part of the job, which can be draining at times.
