Pros

For last 2 years - ONLY learning system. That's all.

Cons

I would advise against considering EPAM if you highly value self-respect. Moreover, it appears that there are challenges related to political differences, particularly if you are not from their home country or express independent opinions. The company has reportedly faced limitations in terms of opportunities and acquiring new clients over the past year. There have also been a significant number of layoffs, seemingly based on location rather than individual circumstances, with no apparent willingness to support individuals seeking to relocate. Furthermore, the compensation at EPAM is said to be below the average market standard. It's noteworthy that a substantial percentage of recent hires are from India and Colombia, potentially raising concerns about the emphasis on quantity over quality in recruitment practices. Allegedly, the company frequently cites budget constraints as a reason for not offering competitive salaries or benefits. Additionally, the absence of a bench and the advice not to fully trust HR processes, given the reported immediate removal of individuals, may be aspects to consider when evaluating EPAM as a potential employer.

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
