Pros

Stable salary, even it is low.

Cons

Do not recommend EPAM at all aspects. Especially if you are planning to relocate with EPAM. On the interview they would tell you that they cannot tell you on which project you would go, but there are a lot of super interesting projects, EPAM is growing, you would be able to choose one you like. When you arrive, it would turn out that there weren't a lot of projects. All of them were some kind of support/bugfixing of large corporate systems. Very often you would have to work on remote desktop, with lots of restrictions and slow speed. And to get to these projects often you would need to pass additional technical interview. If you don't pass - you stay "on bench", which means you aren't assigned to project, but still should come at work every day and invent work for yourself. It's possible to spend months in this state - I've seen guy who stayed on bench for 7 months. Also during bench you don't get any tax reduction ( in Poland). And you can be fired from "bench" on any moment, without an additional compensation - and have to decide yourself how to continue to work in the country you relocated to or return to your country. Salary level is quite below the market, equipment( workstation, notebooks) are old, without possibility to install software you need (e.g. Intellij products for which you have paid on your own). You cannot easily quit EPAM and return to you home country or go to another company - since when you arrived, they made you to sign tons of docs according to which you either cannot work on their clients, or must return all money they paid for your relocation( remember that when you relocated - they paid for your plane tickets, and plane for first month - so this could turn out to be very high amount). General benefits are also poor - not enough parking places, no budget for learning, almost no teambuildings, they give you some amount for benefits - so if you choose private medical care for you family, you cannot get sport card.
