Pros

- Home office - Fair compensation - Good bonuses and perks - Lots of learning resources - Good language courses. - LinkedIn Learning access - I think that the company is people focused, in general, is a nice environment. - For JR/Mid roles growing opportunities to SR roles are clear and people who want to learn have a lot of ways to do it. - Working with Cross-functional worldwide teams. In my experience, EPAM is one of the best places to work because of: - The learning opportunities - Growing chances for JR/Mid roles - Clear growing paths (Even tho for some instances is not perfect) - The home office (seems pretty stable) - The compensation (is not the best but is fair) - The projects (pretty interesting projects) The company is not perfect, but that doesn't make it a bad place.

Cons

- Weird communication, sometimes events happen and I didn't notice. - For Lead/Management roles, the growth is weird because is required to have experience in them, but, the opportunities matching are based on your current role so, the growth may get stuck unless you are a bit lucky. - This cons may be a personal taste, but I don't like how the organization is structured because it depends a lot on your manager how the information flows, if you have a manager who cares then you will get information like how your performance is going, how close are you from getting a bonus, and stuff like that, In the worst case scenario you won't have communication with your manager and you won't ever know how the company sees you. The last point also can be compensated because EPAM provides a lot of KB documents, even without the manager's communication, you could know pretty much anything by yourself. But, in that case, maybe would be better to have an IA Manager than a real Manager.
