Pros

You can work from anywhere. I was paid for 90 days to not do anything at all.

Cons

They hired me telling I was going to be on the bench, which was fine by me. The problem is that: - only after I joined them, I was told that I would have 90 days to fill a position in a project otherwise I would be dismissed. - they hire much more employees than available positions, and we end up competing with each other, creating a negative environment. - I was overqualified for most of the positions available. - Most of the projects available involved outdated technologies. - their clients were the most disrespectful people I have ever seen in many, many years, lied on their feed backs about our interviews, what I said, and my skills, and EPAM wouldn't address it when I complained about it. - Internal recruiters, responsible for looking for jobs for us, would spend more than a week without replying my messages. In fact, when she reappeared, she wouldn't even address them, but touch on other subjects. At the first days I was pressured by HR to install surveillance software on my personal laptop, even though the manual itself strongly recommended against it. I eventually joined a project where most of their tech stack was obscure frameworks and completely unknown to me, and I got no support from EPAM to find studies material, and ended up having to pay for the courses myself. When I asked for my resignation, I was bullied to tell why I was leaving, to comply with their resignation policies that conflicts with local regulations where I live, to answer a survey, and my professionalism was put into question. A HR profession gave me *four* different email addresses to get in touch to deliver the laptop back, but three of them does not exist. After three months of my resignation, they still didn't get it back. Any attempt to contact them with the only e-mail gets no response besides an IT manager saying that he "appreciate my cooperation on sending the device back".

Seems good, but...

Pros

competitive salary, programs to improve technical and non-technical skills, programs to develop English language, normal benefits, only those required by law, no one pissing you off or forcing you to do unrelated activities when you have no project

Cons

Allocation in projects is 6 months, if the project continues and the client likes you, you continue, otherwise it is necessary to look for another vacancy available with another client. Usually does technical interview and interview with client/manager. It's like looking for a new job every time you leave a project. If you fail in any interview, you get burned, because everything is recorded and people in the company/client have access. At the moment, very few vacancies for Brazil. Lack of transparency in the company's working model.
