Q&A With EPAM Systems Employees

pretty well

Depends on a project and a role.

depends on the country. I believe there are more benefits in non-US departments. Main branch in Belarus https://careers.epam.by/careers/benefits US https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Employer=Epam_Systems/Benefits

Ridiculous amount of bonus, and health insurance contribution.

Engineering is growing fast, HR/people management suffer.

Consulting is growing.

Managed service growing as the model, from domain perspective I would say retail and ISV.

Make it more people oriented.

Promotions are not connected to the performance, they are only connected to the actual needs of the company.

Based on performance and feedback, as well as achievements related to the company.

All promotions are performance based.

Usually, people do not like the company or the CEO, they are with the company only for getting a green card.

The CEO is really passioned and making sure that company achieves its goals.

yearly, 5% tops

Literally zero or a couple of percents, yearly. The salaries are ridiculous if you compare them with the market average.

Technically can be done 10-15% once a year, but need to have OKRs completed.

There are two feedback "seasons" per year you need to give feedback about your co-workers but the summary/outcome is not/vaguely shared.

Well defined process with the special tool for this.

Its organized very well. There are several feedback campaigns happened during the year. There is a personal development plan will be created based on feedback. And you can provide the input anytime through the special tool.

I don't think so.

Rarely

very rare

10 days per year if you are with the company less than 5 years. 15 days after 5 years. +1 day of personal and +1 day flexible holiday. The transferability is limited.

It's good for non USA location, really standard for USA. 10 day for the first 5 year at EPAM and 15 days after 5 years.

only 10 days :( for first 5 years and +5 after 5 years of service

corporate but generally friendly

Body-shop like company, treating employees as slaves.

result relentlessly

moderate openspace

Depend on the office really. Some of the offices look like a startup with this specific culture and vibe, but some of them are too boring or not supporting the good vibe and workaround.

friendly

40

depends on project. Some dev spend 8 hours but usually ~12+ hours

depends on a client

Since everyone works at the customer's office, it depends on the project.

how to build career path

Company culture and how the company treats people.

like several stages of the interview, one of which is technical remote assessment with 1-3 specialists

Some team members are very dedicated.

Technical expertise, being helpful

moderately

allowed, exact capacity depends solely on the project.

probably no, do not remember such test

sometime slow in response, but solving them if time is not pressing

like, 80%

high-level overview of your past project; core domain questions; SDLC questions

growth tracking by objectives, internal assessment over committee of experts to confirm next grade

good teammates make things brighter
