Pros

During Covid when they were desperate for headcount and had lots of projects they paid well or over the odds to attract top talent with good bonuses and long-term incentive share options.

Cons

Limited opportunities in the UK and UK resources are generally too expensive for the customers and locations where EPAM provides body shop resources. No job security. Line managers were forced to manage out-of-the-business underperforming and low-billable team members. Disorganised management in certain divisions with no people skills, treated like numbers rather than human beings.

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
