Pros

Offers competitive pay, a flexible work-from-home policy, and excellent insurance and employee benefits.

Cons

After joining EPAM, employees must clear a client interview to secure a project. The company follows a "hire and fire" culture—many employees are recruited, but their future at EPAM depends on passing internal client interviews. I was laid off within a couple of months due to a lack of projects for my role. This was extremely frustrating—why hire employees if you don’t have work for them? Project exposure is not great. I can't comment on additional cons, as my experience was overshadowed by the layoff.

Pros

Competitive compensation and good benefits for visa employees. Everything is fair, company is not taking advantage of you, unlike many similar companies. Lot of internal courses and trainings, opportunity to work in multiple domains.

Cons

Goes crazy after AI hype and stock plummeting
