Pros

* Often very professional and nice colleagues (in SW development, not management), hand-picked from Eastern Europe division * You may be lucky to get interesting projects here * If you live in Eastern Europe and are eager to relocate to US - it might work out here (this got a little broken in past couple of years, but still) * You have a good chance for an opportunity to get hands on more interesting stuff than just coding, like design/architecture (common lack of good project management is your friend here, software development is often not that streamlined and organized) * Health insurance/Dental are quite good. 7 sick days, 401k matching, 10+1 days of paid vacation (15 after 5 years)

Cons

* Low salary and almost non-existent raises/bonuses (if you are not in management) * PMs and mid level management really needs attention * This is not the company that actually bothers much about your needs (applies only to EPAM US division) * Lots of inaccurate document processing recently (e.g. accounting mistakes with W-2)

Pros

Constantly hiring, Budapest office is well-run. Generally friendly, supportive atmosphere. Opportunity for internal mobility. Good compensation. Relaxed environment. Nice office and environment. In the heart of the city. If you just want to do your work, go home, collect your salary, it's not a bad place to work.

Cons

Disregard that the official headquarters are in the US. Command and control comes from Minsk, Belarus. And it shows. Authoritarianism. Group-think. Mindless bureaucracy. Top-down decisions. Little understanding of soft skills, collaboration. It's not how good you are, it's how long you've been there or who you know. An antiquated, Soviet method of business that is now restraining autonomy their other European offices and infecting them with a wretched brand of CIS-concocted ideas about how to do business with the West. Not a congenial environment to those adverse to authoritarianism. Like, the West.

Pros

It's good to relocate to US, relocation process was smooth, you'll have H1B visa if you are lucky.

Cons

Always lowest salary possible. You will have 30-50% less then your market value.
