EPAM Systems reviews

All the cons are management related: - In recent months, upper management has become a selfish group of people playing the "buddy" game that only care about themselves. There's one person specifically in the higher-ups (if you work there you should know) who has now taken control of the whole office and does whatever he want. He'll fire anyone that questions him even if they're right, cheat and lie to his superiors to get what he wants, and has started to spread the same mentality across the delivery and project managers. He also spreads bad rumors about the people that quit because of him. His superiors will believe his lies and even though people have told them what is happening, they haven't done anything at all. This is the reason I am now looking for a new job in another one of Guadalajara's companies, because of almost just one person who is out of control. - Most projects now became support and legacy projects so the work becomes tedious and boring, but your coworkers and the environemnt make up for it. Since management only wants to make money off of anything Epam US throws our way and stoped caring about employees, they gave up on trying to get good projects to Mexico. EPAM in east Europe is also to blame because they try to take almost all of the proyects there, but management could try harder to help us here. - A lot of good and senior engineers are leaving because of the management problems, and no one is doing anything or trying to make the employees stay, no one cares. There will soon be no one left to train the juniors now joining, or there will be taught by the seniors who are not that good (because the very great people are smart and therefore leaving). - Until maybe a year ago, I still recomended friends to come join Epam, but now I cannot recommend them because I don't know if they will be given a bad project with a bad manager. I will recommend it again if things become better soon, and better efforts to bring innovative projects to Mexico happen again..

- The main focus of the company in the US is to quickly satisfy clients' demand in workforce if they want to contract out a project. - After you are assigned to a client's project, the management forgets about your existence. - An average employee stays 2-3 years awaiting for the green card and leaves as soon he/she is authorized to work for another company. - Compensation mostly correlates with employment authorization status, not the real performance. Way below the market. - Employees quickly become demotivated and depressed.
