EPAM Systems reviews

At EPAM there is no work-life balance. Whatever you do, expect 80 hours worth of work per week. Expect to be expected to be OK with this. You are tired? NO ONE CARES! EPAM has a difficult time setting realistic expectations with clients. EPAM has a difficult time saying NO to clients when it technically warrants it. Client asks, client gets - whether or not it is possible, it is the delivery team's problem, not sales or account management. I understand that EPAM is in a very competitive industry, but the perpetual "bending over backwards" is not sustainable. EPAM has no regard whether or not you sleep at all. Whether or not you work weekends. I have been in meetings in which I have raised my concern with people's exhaustion, THEY WILL SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS AND SEE YOU AS A COMPLAINER. Not as a human being who's tired. EPAM needs to learn to balance these things. I have worked for other consulting firms where clients are managed and people are protected that are just as successful as EPAM.

Anyone can be a manager. Resource managers in the US are the worst. Threatening, lies, overall they don't care what do you want. No words, no problem. If you are awesome, they don't care. No raise, or just a little. You are SOLD to the customer. Like a stuff. not a human being. If you want to change a project? They don't want to do that, because you are SOLD. First they wanna convince you, why you should stay. Then threatening you, force you etc. Xmas party in February because it's cheaper? :DDDD Length is few hours, 2-3? Than everybody should go home. Epam in EU is good. In the US? NEVER.
