Just stay away

Senior software engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

It has just a known name.

Cons

- you will constantly see people with no skills, lack of knowledge, lack of communication but has 'lead', 'architect', 'director' titles, And then you will think 'If I work hard, I can be successful and get a good position in the company'. Sorry mate, those positions are occupied and not for hard-workers. You will just work and you will have to work. - management? forget it, you are on your own. - competitive salary? forget it. It is not for you. Shortly: There will be lots of good opportunities and commitments. But most likely none of them will be applied to you, if you are not of those people. If you are not starve to death, do not choose epam (deliberately lowercase) .
