Pros

* Sponsoring relocation to the US and the GC process. * Won't fire you right away if you are out of contract. * You can work and relocate to a new project and place. * Your EPAM management can help and support you in interacting with the customer's management. * Education compensation. * A possibility to find an assignment with a good work-life balance.

Cons

* You are a salaried contractor with medical insurance. * The payment rate is way less than that of a typical contractor. * As a contractor, the only real career path is to manage other contractors or run sales for customers. * Double management. You will have to report to both the customer's management and EPAM's management. Double meetings and bureaucracy. * Your main KPI are reviews from the customers. Your main job is to ask customer managers to give good feedback for your EPAM management. * Hard to build long-term relationships and a solid background. As a contractor, you can lose an assignment at any moment. * Low to almost non-existent bonuses. * Company stocks have dropped by more than 400% since 2022. * The only growing offices in 2024 were 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
