Pros

1) Relocation to different countries. You can relocate to one country, stay for a while, then relocate to another and so on. 2) Internal processes of development and carrier ladder are well-defined and clear to everybody. You can change your area of responsibilities in case you feel you're doing smth that you're not supposed to do.

Cons

1) If you are unlucky you easily can end up doing nothing and sitting on bench for year and even more 2) EPAM is "body-shop" in essence. Again if you're unlucky you will be participating in vague projects with huge amount of developers just because customer is ready to pay for them. Your personal contribution in this case will be unclear.

Pros

Interesting projects, high tech standards and internal knowledge sharing, and a rich representation of all possible Slavic accents.

Cons

Engineering-first culture results in obnoxiously fragmented internal tech platforms because errybody wants to build it themselves. Not a big deal, just engineers doing what engineers will do.
