      Pros

      EPAM is an IT staffing agency, so you are likely to work at a client site. The client may be one of the biggest IT companies, so this may be the only chance to see its office from the inside. As contractors, EPAM employees may enjoy some perks available to the client's own employees. The clients usually have little control over contractors and EPAM, in turn, tends to leave its employees alone once they are sent to a client. Because of that, you are unlikely to face any pressure, overtimes, etc. When at work, you are free to spend your time as you wish. No EPAM manager will bother you. This may be a good opportunity to do some personal development.

      Cons

      IT outstaffing at its finest. Not much to add to the other reviews here. No career opportunities, no bonuses no matter what you do. It's rather easy to become a mid-level manager, but that's of questionable value. One thing to note is that EPAM managers are mostly not the type of person you would want to work with, talk to or meet. Being a contractor working at a client site, you often spend most of the day on your own. Besides that, the client's employees may show little respect to you. Sensitive people may feel lonely and depressed.

      Pros

      Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

      Cons

      In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time

      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.
