I saw you have worked at EPAM Anywhere. I am currently looking for a new role and interested in careers at EPAM so can you brief me about your experience there? In terms of growth, opportunities, culture, etc.? Vladislav Krushenitskii sent the following messages at 10:34 PM View Vladislav’s profileVladislav Krushenitskii Vladislav Krushenitskii 10:34 PM I worked at Epam initially from Russia, and the first 6 months were fine. I was promised the opportunity to relocate wherever I wanted and the chance to undergo assessment and grow. But then the war between Russia and Ukraine started, and Epam began relocating employees to different locations and hiring new ones - those who wanted to leave. Everything seemed fine until I moved to Turkey to work at the Epam office there. I worked at Epam Anywhere for 2 years, and throughout that time, I was only told that the opportunity to undergo knowledge assessment and move up to a new role was frozen. To do this, you have to take an exam, but since the company relocated everyone, they closed this opportunity. It's still closed to this day; only selected individuals and those who have been with the company for 5 years or more can take it. Also, nobody raised my salary for 2 years, and the possibility of a raise was also frozen. Moreover, when I changed the country from which I continued to work for them and started asking for some kind of salary reassessment, they said that because you work from a new country, you are considered a new employee, so you have to wait for about another year. In general, there were no opportunities there, and I didn't like the company. Currently, the company is laying off employees and hiring in India and Latin America to save money.
