Awful awful company. Way past its prime and has completely perverted the founder's vision of what this company could be.
Pros
- A set path for graduates - Pay isn't too bad for what it is
Cons
- No salary increases in two years, no bonuses, no learning support (for non-grads), constant delays to promotion cycles and salary reviews. - The company has let many people go in the last 6 months. Has even let some new graduates go just before their probation. - The company made many, many people redundant the weeks before Christmas, even when they were billable and on a client project. - Sales guys will make you do interviews for roles you have zero experience in, wasting clients' time and making FD look incompetent. Will be written up and given 'feedback' for not accepting to do these interviews, and will be issued a thinly-veiled threat of being fired. - Has gone to the dogs ever since EPAM became the parent company. - No information anywhere about anything on internal systems for FD employees, meaning you HAVE to go to HR about everything. - No culture at all. It all died about 2.5 years ago. - People are scared to make their opinions known in the annual 'anonymous' employee survey. - No bonuses or incentives to perform on a client project. - You will either be stuck on a mediocre project for months or years, or you will be micromanaged to all hell on the bench, making you wish to leave. - This company is a classic case of Covid overhiring and implementing new, intentionally hostile worker policies to avoid paying redundancies.
