      Good workplace for juniors - Senior Software Engineer EPAM Systems Employee Review

      Pros

      Option to work from home (not all clients though). Immediate managers are very helpful and supportive. Many highly skilled and ambitious colleagues, professional engineering culture - often more professional than that of the client. A good place for any junior to learn technologies and to improve their skills.

      Cons

      Salary between 30-50% lower than other companies in the same location. The salary raises are lower than the inflation. Learning and self-development is only supported in theory: you can only learn outside your working hours, which are already longer than those at many other companies (9 hours with lunch break included). Work-life balance is non-existent, the workload is heavy. You do not receive the same benefits as the employees of the client since you are a contractor. The projects are often bad, and if you want to change to a different project (client) you need to do interviews the same way as you would when you changed to a different job at another company. The senior management says that employee turnover does not make it necessary to raise salaries (according to them).

      Pros

      Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

      Cons

      In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time

      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.
