Pros

- The company in Spain offers good benefits now (private insurance, RSUs, Gym %, etc cheap things). - You can find good career communities if you get a good resource manager.

Cons

- No team buildings, no integration with the team or office. - 90% of the time, management tries to sell smoke in town halls. Never talk with facts/data to back up what they say. - If you don't speak Russian you'll find a hard time integrating with them. So mostly you'll find your own group of English/Spanish speakers. - They promote Russians/Ukrainians to high management positions, people that have zero soft skills, they don't know what is leadership or at least what the rest of the world understands by that. The cultural shock here is huge. - Keep in mind that EPAM's DNA is Beloruss so somehow they'll have a preference for Eastern Europeans. - If you get a bad project ... good luck with that. - If you are on the bench for more than 15 days ... you are a target to be fired. (Except if you are eastern European, you could be there a couple of months).

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.
