Pros
I would like to share my experience with the relocation to the Irish office. I`ve been a part of EPAM since October and was relocated to Ireland a few months ago. I would like to emphasize the smooth onboarding process and support I met here. Not only in terms of a professional, work-oriented environment, but also in everyday life. If you still thinking on let me give you some clues on what to expect in EPAM: - Deep and well-designed onboarding process with gamification, set up milestones and goals in many different topics you will certainly need to be ready to dive in: office structure, Code of Conduct, safety rules, how to set up your environment, your position related topics and many other. - Resource Manager. A person who will be your main point of contact with your project allocation, vacancies, and so on approvals, personal development plan, and other work-related topics. - Open doors with so many L&D programs, training, and courses. Both internal and external. You can find even those that are about mental health, yoga, sports, etc. - Communities. So many of them are receiving support from the organization. - Tools. Lots of them. They will help you to stay on track, feel the transparency, and have all you need as a professional.
Cons
Because of the pros like onboarding processes and the whole eco-system of the tools you might feel a bit under pressure with the amount of information and people around. But yet I strongly believe the due dates and workload can be modified to suit you best. Especially when you are in touch with your dedicated Resource Manager and HR.
