Pros

Good benefits, salary way higher than local companies.

Cons

I do not recommend any Brazillian to accept an offer from them, its a dead end. On my first week they told us that we were expected to be allocated in a project before the end of probation period otherwise we would be fired (they did not use those words, but they sure meant it), nothing about this was mentioned during my interviews or when I received the offer. 3 months passed (the legal standard probation period in brazil) and not a single opportunity to join a project. It was a very stressful situation, building up anxiety and everything got worse when people started to get fired. Most of Brazilians that joined around the same time as me are being fired without any explanations, many of us left good jobs in hope to join in a innovative environment and were left stranded. Also, after a while we discovered that many of the new joiners like us have received a generous sign in bonus and others don't (Sounds incredibly unfair to me). While we in Brazil are left with no work to do during these months we still see on Linkedin a lot of people being hired around the world and praising the company, so maybe this is just the Brazilian experience inside EPAM.

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
