High Pay & Work Flexibility

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive Compensation: Offers good pay, which is a major attraction. Work Flexibility: Many roles allow for work-from-home, though this can depend on your specific project. Positive Interview Process: Some candidates report a well-structured and positive interview experience

Cons

Low Job Security: A frequently cited issue. Employees report high firing rates, short-term projects, and the risk of being laid off if on the "bench" (not assigned to a project) for 2-3 months. Constant Client Interviews: You often must pass new client interviews to join each new project, adding to job uncertainty. Project-Based Stress: The nature of project work is described as unstable, with cost-cutting measures leading to further insecurity

We're interested to know if this aligns with your personal experience, or if you were in a role where you had a team that reported these things to you. This would help us understand the nature of the job insecurity. Please reach out to us if you're comfortable at Glassdoor@epam.com EPAM is focused on long-term stability, and your contributions are a key part of our success.
