Pros

I really enjoyed coworkers I worked with. Being in the dev team was not the most joyous experience for me, but those who worked hard and hit estimates consistently were promoted to newer projects in a pretty reasonable time. The rest of the people outside our seemed to be happy with the company.

Cons

None of the departments communicate with each other. I left this job because my manager hindered me from leading the solutions I wanted and also stopped me from trying to grow our team project. It's interesting because during hr opt-in in the first month, we have orientation twice and each time we are told to push new business when possible even as a developer. EPAM was labeled a startup even.

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.
