Pros

they will teach you first in intern period there will be a lot of tests you wont be getting in any projects and the pay will be around 25k to 30k per month which is okay since they are paying you to learn and they are investing on you.

Cons

to get into projects you need to give interviews and if you did not clear those you will be on bench and then obviously if stayed on bench for long time you will be thrown out so obviously the job security is the issue here. First you need to give several interviews to get the fulltime offer then you have to give interviews again and again to get projects so everytime there is a fear of losing the job.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that the interview process can feel lengthy, especially when it involves additional steps after joining EPAM. EPAM is a digital services and engineering company, so our clients rely on us to integrate with their internal teams and build their core products. For this reason, clients often require a conversation—or a "client match" interview—to ensure technical alignment and cultural fit before a project begins. This ensures that you are placed on a project where your specific skills can make the most impact. We appreciate your flexibility as we work to find the best project fit for you. If you have questions about the staffing process, please reach out to your Resource Manager or contact us at Glassdoor@epam.com.

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.
