      Waste of your time

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - you can meet good people there - if you given shares that would have been decent growing trend, good for off-shores zones but still mediocre for US. - almost the only chance to try what is that - working abroad/get residency if you are from any of soviet land.

      Cons

      - good people leaving every day(once green card is obtained) - mediocre management, negative selection mostly based on those who can't get anywhere else or possesses car dealership skill set(trying to make a fool out of you telling fairy tales but dont realise that most of people around know the truth) - hard to imagine who could have joint the company being totally free in his choice - most of people just do wait for GC and this gives longevity of employment about 3 years - salary is a joke even compared to consulting companies out there, company was designed as a hub of cheap workforce from former soviet union republics(this is better than nothing but still cant compete any real player on the market) - all the initiatives either artificial or driven by skill less management - no technical culture per say no managerial culture as well but there has been at least mimic of latter. Senior/Lead specialist after 2-3 years, likely after 3 years at Epam you have seen everything and time has come to become a manager! - if you are still reading this - run! dont waste your valuable time. Good people very often are trusting and do realize what they spent their time for only after several years passed.. after being completely disappointed so dont be scared, act proactively, if you have any goals other than to be a part of "management family" you got only choice

      Napoleon complex without his clever strategy

      Senior director, account management
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Coming from the outside you already know more than 90% of the company with regards to Industry trends, How and What people Buy, and likely the better way to operationalize or execute. They know how to invent things but not productize and certainly not take to market.

      Cons

      EPAM has a ton of systems and micro-manages everyone to excessive levels of data entry on what is happening (daily). Everyday, a raft of new systems, rules, products (that are not products), and capabilities are introduced so it is very hard to know what is important versus what is not. Very tribal and silo based.

      Better-than-average bodyshop

      Technical solutions engineer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Relocation assistance (plane tickets for you and your family, compensation for overweight luggage fees, a month of extended stay hotel and a car rental, 1 year interest-free loan) - Green card application process exists and is known to finish successfully (albeit you have to wait for 1 year to start the process and it takes about 3-4 years to complete it if no significant delays have been encountered) - As a contractor - you have access to some of the perks regular employees of EPAM's clients (e.g. Google) provide - free food, parking, laundry in the office, etc. - Good benefits package - insurance (including eye and dental), H1B matching (up to 2%), free English classes - Great (and competent) people working with you on the project - usually L1/H1 visa holders tend to be qualified or overqualified for the tasks at hand - so you can savor moments of working with smart people - You are still being paid "on bench" while the company is finding a new project for you - if your previous project ended. You can use this time as a quasi-PTO (although you are not expected to do so) - You can progress to middle management rather quickly - although this does not necessary mean that you will get significantly more money

      Cons

      - You work for a bodyshop - so the projects you will be working on are either too boring or too inconvenient for regular employees of EPAM's clients. Be prepared for unusual schedules, meaningless support busywork, legacy support etc. - You work for a bodyshop - your salary is limited not by your contribution or by your actual market value - but by the sum of money the client is paying for your position. Business is business, do not expect them to lower their profit margin to give you more money. And also expect to have less than competitive salary (in comparison to product companies that are currently hiring) - Review process happens twice a year - but is completely opaque - you do not know what you need to do to get a rise. Goal setting is useless, change of grade does not necessary mean that you are entitled for a promotion. Participating (for free) in EPAM's internal projects is expected to maximize the chances of a rise. Having an offer from another company helps too though. - You work for a bodyshop - be prepared for "we do what we are paid for" approach - if the customer wants you to mop floors - you will end up mopping floors. Management is usually not able to (and not willing to) argue with the customers regarding this. - You are "exempt" employee - so no such thing as "overtime" exists for you, you work as much as needed to complete your tasks. You can get some payments or other forms of reimbursement though, depending on the project and management - You are usually left alone after getting assigned to a project - if the client is not complaining - you will have little to none communication with your management. Any conflict with the client is almost automatically decided in favor of the client though. - Be prepared for significant turnover of people - expect that 80-90% of your colleagues on the project will leave shortly (3-6 months) after getting the Green Card.
