If you love working long hours, you'll love this place!

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, and interesting work. The IA and PM teams are very strong and a good place to cut your teeth.

Cons

The overall leadership team is very weak. The VP group excels at selling, but they consistently set their team up for failure and chronically burn their resources to make up for it. Success is only based on heroism, and then never rewarded. Think twice about accepting a position if you are commuting from Philly or if you are looking for work/life balance. Also push very hard for title and salary going in as they rarely promote across the company and never in the IT department.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the projects don't have client rounds and the colleagues are very supportive (Ukrainians). Depending on Project/Client there will be permanent remote option. The health insurance policy and unlimited practo consultations is good.

Cons

The client interviews are very difficult to clear. There will be two rounds of client interviews in which majority of the employees fail to clear. The bench policy is good and they will retain employees till 6 months on bench but may vary from case to case. They try to provide atleast 3-4 opportunities but they are difficult to clear. In the end they will ask employees to leave the organisation by paying 4 months of salary

Working for EPAM US is not worth it.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good learning opportunities. - Offices in Europe are very nice. Highly skilled people.

Cons

- Low salary. You will be begging for money every time. - Getting a project is tricky. You can end up in a bad project and can't even move quickly. - No development center in the US, so don't feel that community vibe. Europe is amazing in that sense.
