Pros

- They accept contractors - Competitive salary - A lot of internal tools - Ability to level up after an technical interview

Cons

FALSE PROMISES, THEY LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH - I was hired under the premise of an internal transfer to the US via L1B visa (even got an offer as an extension to my contract saying so), oops, just got a mail saying the demand is low, we expect delays (aka never), tough luck. We are HUNDREDS hired under this premise and only 2 open positions in the US from Epam visible on our internal platform. - The managers/HRs advertise how you can change the project if the current one doesn't suit your needs. Technically you can do that, in reality there is no project to be moved to. Same as for relocation.. - Delivery manages care only about the client. - Lot of east european clients/colleagues

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

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
