Pros

During Covid when they were desperate for headcount and had lots of projects they paid well or over the odds to attract top talent with good bonuses and long-term incentive share options.

Cons

Limited opportunities in the UK and UK resources are generally too expensive for the customers and locations where EPAM provides body shop resources. No job security. Line managers were forced to manage out-of-the-business underperforming and low-billable team members. Disorganised management in certain divisions with no people skills, treated like numbers rather than human beings.

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
