Pros

- Manager that oversees you, is really helpful and can sometimes be a life savior - Pay is better somewhere around and maybe above average, but watch out for agreement details, as it maybe the case you would leave heafty amount when leaving the company.

Cons

- I had quite uncomfortably rude project leadership - Effort is not appreciated, as soon as you finish the task they through more at you - No self-improvement time, you either have to hide your performance to get free time or just not have it - The company says it is built around technology excellence, but in fact, simple things on the project level aren't even brought to clients' attention. - In my case, I had a surprise relocation cost to be paid when leaving the company which equals almost to a single monthly salary - Most of the people they have in EU are from Post-Soviet countries, e.g. Belarus and Russia. This does have a significant effect on interpersonal relations, especially with management. I have talked with colleagues from the US, they also described it as 'tensions without a reason' and 'hard to work with them'.

Pros

Competitive compensation and good benefits for visa employees. Everything is fair, company is not taking advantage of you, unlike many similar companies. Lot of internal courses and trainings, opportunity to work in multiple domains.

Cons

Goes crazy after AI hype and stock plummeting

Pros

* Easier to find a project within the same company * You are still being paid in between project (bench) * My friend made 1K applications and could find work. But as soon as he became EPAM employee he had a project 1 week later.

Cons

* About -10-15% less paid then in average on the market
