EPAM Systems reviews

Thank you for your feedback. It’s unfortunate to hear that you are facing some challenges. We take the feedback from our associates seriously and work towards building a healthy workplace. Glassdoor reviews are anonymous, but if you would like to talk more about it, please email at Shashikanth_bondugula@epam.com/reach out to me directly and we can discuss further. Being a services organization, as part of our operating model, it is imperative to have a bench as we service many clients and do not have the luxury to opt for Just in Time hiring. And we take complete responsibility in providing opportunities to people who move to bench either through a skill set match or provide support to upskill or reskill based on the project need. We believe that good people Managers are a critical element in talent engagement. To this effect, we provide the opportunity to team members to provide feedback on their managers every six months. Based on the feedback, Managers are enabled through coaching and training programs, to work on the gaps identified. We as EPAMers believe in Transparent, Empowering, and Inclusive culture. We follow an open-door approach where anyone can raise questions/share concerns with Directors/Line Managers/Program Managers/HRBP through multiple forums available for associates: Whats Going On, Voice of EPAM-anonymous platform to express concerns, Townhalls, People Leadership Effectiveness Surveys, Associate Experience Surveys, Monthly connects, Team connects, HRBP connects that happens through a set cadence. We believe in high performance and therefore leads, Managers are enabled to support people who are struggling to perform to EPAM expectations (behavior and capability wise). And if there is no improvement then we handle such scenarios under poor performance category. I believe this is an industry-standard. Regarding client site allowance, it’s a benefit provided for those who work at client location and there is no question of recovering through salary. We believe there is always a scope for improvement, and we will work on the feedback shared by you to build a people-friendly organization.

EPAM India has gone through a major shift in adopting to the Engineering culture and delivery practices of Global EPAM. Our hiring process for laterals and campus hires has completely transformed as we look for strong software engineering fundamentals in those whom we hire. We have added quiet a few Senior Managers at Director level to strengthen the leadership and are still acquiring new leadership capabilities in various practices like SFDC, DEP etc 3) We are transforming the way we do the delivery and customer engagement. Implementing a project structure that is led by flat hierarchy led by Delivery Manager. 4) EPAM India offer 20 earned leaves plus 12 additional holidays. We do have benefits like Medical Insurance of 5lac SI, GTLI matching 3 times CTC, GPA etc. We have a welfare fund that grants emergency loans and organise various welfare related activities. 5) Thank you for the feedback related to structure of a team and that is where we re heading. All new projects are adapting to lean structure.
