Pros

Friendly and flexible environment. Co-workers were the highlight of my experience there. Pay was acceptable. Company gatherings are enjoyable.

Cons

As a web developer, no real value displayed to development team when management mismanges a project. No internal structure for sharing development tools, information, etc. Mostly ranting and complaining from development teams on how tight timelines and lack of technical understanding from tech 'leads' and project/account management. No one in upper management seems to care as long as projects are delivered

Pros

Work-life balance Learning opportunities Promotions (It is also a con as irrespective of performance, one must take assessment) Leaves Some projects pay shift allowance

Cons

Service-based managers who joined this company, only to ruin employee's lives. These managers don't care about well-being but rather keep pushing their agenda. Useless extra work like ENGX assessment, which takes out valuable work hours from team members who are already working under pressure If you are unlucky, some projects don't pay shift allowance even when you work in shifts. Here DM/PM are dictators, who go against policies to prevent shift allowance or other incentives just so they can hog more margin Impact awards got corrupted. Now some winners are repetitive and those are management pets who win for not doing any value-add Earlier Epam used to relocate to other countries, however, their strategic shift is to bring more business offshore to mint higher margins, so no more on-site (though managers travel frequently on business trips) Poor salary hikes Worst of all is their payroll, insurance, healthcare and referral policies. Referrals get auto-rejected without any reason. It's just a PR to show but actual business rules are so complex that I doubt if anyone ever got success in referring and receiving a bonus Cost cutting, cost cutting, cost cutting everywhere. Cheap New Year gifts and award incentives

Pros

Well, comparing to other companies, I can't say that Epam can offer anything special

Cons

Very beurocratic and archaic structure and governance currently the amount of projects is low, people are sitting on bench, salaries are not increasing but decreasing, atmosphere is mostly negative, people are afraid about loosing their jobs Also, if you need a visa, they will try to use you as much as possible Just do not recommend, it's a waste of time
