Cons

EPAM has acquired Alliance global services but the old management that has been working with Alliance continued to work with EPAM as well. Salesforce competency is fairly new and the "delivery heads and managers" of alliance with zero knowledge on salesforce just struggling to build the competency. So naturally, the salesforce management is old school and expects you to be servile to them like how it was in the old days. It's like they have stayed in the same company and probably worked with the same group of overly obedient associates all those years; that they never had a chance to upgrade to millennial generation's mindset. If you are someone with individuality and expect equal respect in a team, you wouldn't find this place to be an ideal setting for you- especially if have worked in MNCs before. Coming to technical learning- Last I know, there were not many challenging projects to improve your knowledge of Salesforce. So not only just culturally, even technically you would find yourself utterly dissatisfied. Normally in other companies, the HR will have a say and can authoritatively speak to the management if an associate has any concerns but unfortunately, the HR is totally dominated and advised by the management. I have seen many candidates just accepting the offer for the money of course and use it to get better offers in better companies and I have seen people leave or should I say abscond a week after they have joined the company.

Every organization experiences multigeneration workforce and it becomes critical for everyone to collaborate to make the organization successful. To enable this, we built non-hierarchial and non-protocol oriented culture where associates irrespective of level and experience are empowered to speak their mind and contribute. 4. HR is a very critical stakeholder responsible for associate engagement and work closely with delivery to make it happen. Most of the decisions related to associates are taking with consensus. Based on the feedback, we will identify gaps and work towards addressing them.
