Pros

- Flexible working time - Career development is very professional, lots of opportunities to improve your skills, both hard & soft skills - Good salary (not the best, but not low, either) - Good benefits (cafeteria, free drinks, recreation activities) - Support for relocation between EPAM sites - EPAM has lately changed focus from being just a vendor to an active, advisory vendor, which is great. - Lots of internal knowledge has been gathered that any EPAM clients can use for their benefits

Cons

- A lot of times you're working in (Central) Eastern-Europe and the client is far from your timezone (+3-12 hours) to the West, so it's a challenge to arrange meetings and manage your own time. - Lot of times creativity is killed as either the client has strict ideas on technology + solution OR doesn't but have no budget for your creativity. Mind you, creativity is still appreciated. - Beyond a certain level it might be very challenging to find your own career path as the location will not give you enough opportunities.

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
