Pros

Great Insurance, sick days (7), Interesting clients, paid public holidays.

Cons

- Get ready to be micro-managed. They will control literally every step in project you are working on . - Basically you can't talk to clients directly, EPAM would like to route everything through them, creating unnecessary channels. - You are just a resource for EPAM as well as the client. Chances are you will be mostly surrounded by Ukranian , Belarussian employees at client sites and EPAM. - Don't expect bonus or anything as such unless you invest 5 years in the company - Your project assignments will not be based on your skills

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.
