Pros

Might upscale you to a better standard resource. Lucky if you work under a good PM.

Cons

Senior management has no skills to manage as they are not professional managers. They reached their positions only because of their tenure in the org. Epam india is all opposite to global epam. Projects here still decades old. And even if epam india gets good project. They do not map the right candidates and the client runs away quickly. Mangement considers resouce pool as a herd. Lacks efficient resource management

• Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We take these issues very seriously and we are always looking to improve. Glassdoor reviews are anonymous, but if you would like to talk more about it, please email at Shashikanth_bondugula@epam.com and we can discuss further. • Post acquisition, we have looked at the legacy projects and deliberated whether these projects fall into the global scheme of things and even went to an extent of transitioning out few of them. In 2017, 7 big & reputed logos (Finance, Retail, Mobile, Product Development, Banking sector) have started projects with EPAM India. These projects use latest technologies like Micro Services, PCF, AWS, Azure, NoSQL, Test Automation using JAVA Selenium, Performance Testing for HYBRIS, latest being SFDC. We have successfully built Robotic Process Automation, Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence competency in India and serving 3 clients already. • We have opened an office in Pune in the beginning of the year and added more space effective 01 Aug 2017. Our new state of the art facility with 1600 capacity in Hyderabad is getting ready where we are going to consolidate the operations. Based on the current growth plan, we are planning to commit additional space for 2019. This is a testimony to our strong leadership skill in India.

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.
