Pros

Talented Eastern European IT resources epam has luxury to snatch at a low cost

Cons

- Incompetent mid-tier management. The issue is running strong across all units. Poor management skills in senior IT management as well. - Strong culture of gender bias and favoritism. Management positions are filled based on who knows who vs competency and experience. - No vision, no well-defined strategy - If shareholders only knew what kind of BS internal governance is. 4 words: It is a mess. Organization struggles to manage itself. Red flag. - Gender bias. Women often talk about this being a classical boy's club in senior management. - Often times junior staff interviewers disqualify senior candidates due to own incompetence. It seems HR encourages young employees to write positive reviews. Reader, beware - read between the lines There must be IT Service Companies out there with better culture and value proposition

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.
