Pros

NONE that i can recall

Cons

1) No Stability - once you are on bench, anything can happen you are asked to interview again.. a lot of internal interviews then with clients, its all hectic coz in EPAM most projects wont cross 6months mark, so u r in this loop again and again, and they can fire you aswell if there are no much projects 2) Shorterm Projects - It’s basically interview, interview, and more interviews. That’s the cycle here since most projects end within 6 months. 3) Short Employee Tenures - The majority of people here don’t stay beyond a year. Check other reviews as well and decide accordingly. 4) My Experience - I left within 6months after joining and our project ended just a month after me leaving.

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.
