Pros

EPAM has some roles for every skillset, and you'll get a training if needed.

Cons

Slow and complicated processes: -Not easy to get any hw upgrade, fill a request form, waiting for approvement, get an IT guy, ... -Same problem with softwares: forms, waiting for managers and their approvements, get rejection, looking for a manager who can override it, ... -If you want to work from home for a day, you have to discuss it with a lot of managers, and you have to spend the day with chasing them. -Using the company's pluralsight account is so complicated that you won't use it. I decided to buy a private account. If you don't like your project, you cannot move to an other one, you have to spend 6 months on it. It could be painful, and you'll quit EPAM. Management is good at making promises (e.g. relocating, salary raise), and you'll quit after waiting for years. Most of the managers are lying continuously.

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.
