Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We take these issues very seriously and we are always looking to improve the work environment in EPAM. To bring in more transparency, we have various forums within the organization where associates can express their grievances and Management works with commitment to resolve the issues. Glassdoor reviews are anonymous, but if you would like to talk more about it, please email at Shashikanth_bondugula@epam.com and we can discuss further.
Post acquisition, to align with new business model and eliminate redundancies, last year we initiated few measures to ensure the organization is set on a new course. Since then EPAM India is on a strong growth path. We have been on new associate acquisition based on revised hiring process and restarted campus hiring as well. We have added a new state of the art 1700 capacity centre in Hyd and will be adding a new centre sometime next year in Pune. We are planning to expand in Bangalore as well.
As part of work-life balance, various benefits like work from home, hobby building like Yoga, Zumba, Photography, Painting, indoor and outdoor sports etc are organized regularly. As part of honing skills, Associates are provided opportunities to participate in events like Hackathon, Engineering Excellence, Tech Talks, Mentoring programs, career advancement programs like Delivery Management & Soln Architect school etc. To avoid bias, promotions are handled by an expert panel through Unified Assessment and associate is at discretion to opt for the process. Even associate has the flexibility to receive feedback from peers, client, team members apart from Manager through the Feedback tool.
At times, based on the project criticality, associates are called for weekend working and compensated by providing comp off. This is industry specific problem and not restricted to EPAM.
