-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.

Dislikes

- once you are into epam, you will be exploited to the core ( initially they may pay you good ) - no hikes, no promotions, HR's are the worst, they expect work as if they are a top product company but pay and facilities are worst.

1. You will offer a good salary/package to trap you(and can fire you anytime). 2. For some projects it is still work from home. 3. Even after thinking a lot, I am not able to find any further likes.

1. **NO JOB SECURITY** Please...please stay/go ahead with an organization that is offering you better job security. EPAM India already fired a lot of employees with 0-day notice period and still doing it. 2. I worked there as an Android developer for a few years. There is mobility DEP Manager(Can't name here). He is a pathetic person and he doesn't know how to talk with employees. 3. As you already got a good amount on joining so no hike/minimal hike on appraisal. 4. They have a garage and other activities but all are just show-offs. You will not get any time to groom/present your skills at org. level. 5. **NO PROMOTION** The Recruiter will catch by saying that you may apply to get a promotion even within 6 months but it is all fake. To go from the promotion cycle you have to get approval from 2 colleagues project manager and manager (You know how good are indian managers :-D ). Then you have to do certain assessments and apply for some mock interviews and real interviews and during that also you have to do more project contributions. If this entire cycle works in your favor then you might get promoted(still it's not guaranteed). 4. No yearly bonus/perks.
