Pros

Work from home. Allowed a lot of autonomy with regards to how I deliver on projects. Challenging projects.

Cons

Management are forever kicking the can up the road with regards to discussions about salary increases. Pay has fallen behind inflation. Goalposts for promotion keep shifting; it's really hard to grow with the company. An internal talent mobility program exists, but I've never heard of anyone successfully get relocated; the only viable (and easier) option for switching countries seems to be to quit and change company — and EPAM operates in a bunch of countries that are becoming increasingly uncomfortable or downright terrifying to live in, particularly if you're a member of a marginalized group, and it seems that the company is either deaf or does not care. Relocation only happens if there's substantial business value for the company.

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.
