Pros

1) Relocation to different countries. You can relocate to one country, stay for a while, then relocate to another and so on. 2) Internal processes of development and carrier ladder are well-defined and clear to everybody. You can change your area of responsibilities in case you feel you're doing smth that you're not supposed to do.

Cons

1) If you are unlucky you easily can end up doing nothing and sitting on bench for year and even more 2) EPAM is "body-shop" in essence. Again if you're unlucky you will be participating in vague projects with huge amount of developers just because customer is ready to pay for them. Your personal contribution in this case will be unclear.

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.
