Likes

- Anytime promotion based on assessment, it has pros and cons. PROS: You can apply anytime. CONS: Even if you do it good in project yet you need to appear in assessment and clear it. - Good appraisals - Health Insurance is competitive to product org or even better - Good tax saving options

Dislikes

- You won't feel engaged to organization as there is no much engagement with company except salary. You will be all the time working for client closely. - No outing or engagement activities in person - Leaves are less compared to other companies

Likes

Good CTC and other employee benefits. Permanent work from home.

Dislikes

...hy I didn't go with other offer or should have stayed with my last organization. Good package doesn't matter if you don't have job. They will kick you out within couple of months if you don't get onboarded on a project. The client interviews are really very difficult compared to the external interview and number of positions are also very less compared to the candidates appearing for it.

Good benefits, pay structure, remote opportunities. WLB in my case was good but again depends on project.

Dislikes

They take too much time in promotions. Senior resources still consider you as a number instead of an employee which is sometimes insulting.

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

... 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.
