EPAM Systems reviews

Salary between 30-50% lower than other companies in the same location. The salary raises are lower than the inflation. Learning and self-development is only supported in theory: you can only learn outside your working hours, which are already longer than those at many other companies (9 hours with lunch break included). Work-life balance is non-existent, the workload is heavy. You do not receive the same benefits as the employees of the client since you are a contractor. The projects are often bad, and if you want to change to a different project (client) you need to do interviews the same way as you would when you changed to a different job at another company. The senior management says that employee turnover does not make it necessary to raise salaries (according to them).

- low salary, below a market; - there's no a pay raise (at least during my last 2 years): they're saying that there's a crisis and at the same time complaining about record profits; - there's is no carrier opportunities: they says that assessment is only about your skills growth and not about money, and at the same time they put assessments on hold; - they say that employees are their main value, at the same time they drop you off if you don't have a project; - all this cons applies only on production engineers, who pays for mistakes of management. Management doesn't have a pay raise or a assessment on hold; - our local management was really bad; we had a huge list of problems but management didn't want to listen us;
