EPAM Systems reviews

- Too much ignorant, unmotivated middle management - often unprofessional - dragging teams down and killing morale - Compensation is weak, and the rare increases are small. Leadership keeps deflecting with “market conditions” and repeat “just wait” - There’s a lot to study, but not many real chances to apply what you learn - They seem to take almost anyone, and later the lack of professionalism shows up and hurts engineers’ day-to-day - Work-life balance is preached, but when deadlines hit, it’s treated as optional - Bureaucracy grows: new processes and metrics keep appearing with little connection to actual project needs

Initial learning curve can be challenging. Project allocation may take some time. Workload can increase during delivery phases. Limited influence on project decisions for juniors. Dependency on client requirements and timelines.
