Pros

For last 2 years - ONLY learning system. That's all.

Cons

I would advise against considering EPAM if you highly value self-respect. Moreover, it appears that there are challenges related to political differences, particularly if you are not from their home country or express independent opinions. The company has reportedly faced limitations in terms of opportunities and acquiring new clients over the past year. There have also been a significant number of layoffs, seemingly based on location rather than individual circumstances, with no apparent willingness to support individuals seeking to relocate. Furthermore, the compensation at EPAM is said to be below the average market standard. It's noteworthy that a substantial percentage of recent hires are from India and Colombia, potentially raising concerns about the emphasis on quantity over quality in recruitment practices. Allegedly, the company frequently cites budget constraints as a reason for not offering competitive salaries or benefits. Additionally, the absence of a bench and the advice not to fully trust HR processes, given the reported immediate removal of individuals, may be aspects to consider when evaluating EPAM as a potential employer.

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.
