Pros

1. Opportunity to relocate to USA 2. A lot of internal resources for a self - education 3. A lot of customers from Fortune 100

Cons

1. EPAM retains on a bench only 2 weeks after COVID-19 crisis. There are 2 options - lay off or furlough. This happen at least in south states like Texas, Louisiana where a lot of oil and gas businesses affected 2. Comparatively low salary 3. Low annual bonuses and no salary review. I got 4% annual bonus in April 2020 comparatively of annual salary 4. No stock options. A few colleagues have been proposed company stock when they decided to leave EPAM 5. Hard change a project or switch career. It is easy to change employer. otherwise you can spend even years for your rotation especially if you are at L1

Pros

Interesting projects, high tech standards and internal knowledge sharing, and a rich representation of all possible Slavic accents.

Cons

Engineering-first culture results in obnoxiously fragmented internal tech platforms because errybody wants to build it themselves. Not a big deal, just engineers doing what engineers will do.
