EPAM Systems Software Development Engineer II Reviews

Likes

It is a consulting firm, which asks employees to work from client location. There is nothing from the EPAM end. If client is good product based company you might have learning curve

Dislikes

Promotion Process doesn't consider employee performance in the client project. Hikes are less compared to market standards, for this term atleast. Works like a consulting company rather than a Organization, EPAM manager will not know what projects we are working on because we need to work from client location, because of this our work is not valued.

Likes

-Fixed Salary -Good health insurance -Good client base -For tech enthusiasts it's a great place as there are lot of learning platforms and so many hackathons and code events

Dislikes

-Short term projects -Annual appraisals are not aligned with employee performance -Once we come out from project, again we have to prepare and give interviews to get another project and client interviews are not that easy to crack -For experienced people like 8+ there will be hell lot of expectations and we have to contribute to Epam as well Client with this we lose work life balance. So for experienced people its a challenging company where you have to be very compete and proactive to survive...Read More

Please remember below things before joining EPAM.They are trapping people for thier business purpose. Interview process has only 2 rounds, even though u r not done well, they will offer you good package. Actual game starts after joining.They are hiring for bench.Recruiter or HR don't disclose below things before joining. They will say like training will be given. It is not training , they will give a big assignment and you have to clear 4 internal rounds of evaluation just to get project interview opportunity. Micromanagement at peak level. your assignment study level tracked by many mentors, Each day need to update which lesson u studied and what topic next. Minimum 3 weeks time will be given. once done mentor will take interview , like this you have to clear 3 levels of interviews. Then they will give opportunity for project interview. Mentor will keep rejecting if he is not satisfied. You will be sent home if not able to clear these 4 rounds..Please be careful before joining. don't get trapped by seeing their offer. They just playing with our career. This is applicable for all skills. Advice to Management : Please evaluate the candidate before releasing offer letter. Employee will expect client round after joining any organization. None of the organization following this policy for sure not even for freshers....Read More

Salary negotiations when you join

Dislikes

This company doesn’t have any culture. It is totally client based work culture. The manager has no power and they keep telling that log off once your working hours are done. But they doesn’t specify the working hours as client gives task in the evening.

Likes

I won’t say anything, It’s purely depends on project They will listen what client says Once you deployed to client environment no relationship with epam

Dislikes

Culture Coordination Work life balance terrible I’m out of project due lot of politics played

Likes

Good Learning opportunity. We can get enough time to learn the things while on bench.

Dislikes

Client round interview will be taken after getting into the company. That is one of the bad things. Some times to get client interview will take time. They will they have hybrid model but based on client policies we need to go to office.

Work culture and team environment

Likes

They have good learning platform and industry tie-ups to get your certifications done. This is the only good thing about this organization.

Dislikes

No job security at senior levels. Zero work life balance if you are into some project. Whether you will stay in the organization will primarily depend on whether you are above 80% into billable roles with some customer or the other. There is not much choice on the kind of roles as you have to just get into something to survive. If you are in a senior position and not getting enough billability then you might be asked to leave....Read More

The pay structure is all fixed, there are no variables. Appraisals are satisfactory most of the times. Work Life balance is good. Managers are mostly good.

Dislikes

Frequently changing systems, processes and policies. You have two managers, RM and Project Delivery Manager, which usually feels kind of confusing.

The culture, the engineering excellince model. Striving to deliver great results for the customers.

Dislikes

Promotion process which epam boasts about, is not as transparent as it seems. At the end of the day its not about skills you possess its about how many years of exp. you have.

Likes

Working with growing leaders is always exciting. They have N number of customers and value of employees. I too cane across of offers drops by the candidates in the market. But we always find a pool. Epam has good branding in market so less work on branding part.

Dislikes

Manager is good but lead is too toxic. Working in single technology hiring make me sad. So you will loose knowledge on other cutting edge technologies in market.

The work culture along with learnings is really good at EPAM. Really good for fresher of entry level

Dislikes

The benefits, appraisal is not satisfactory. Also these kind of process are very slow. Seems like no one takes care of this. Even getting promotion is also not easy because the top level management could set any rules & criteria which would be different for every team.
