Pros

* Often very professional and nice colleagues (in SW development, not management), hand-picked from Eastern Europe division * You may be lucky to get interesting projects here * If you live in Eastern Europe and are eager to relocate to US - it might work out here (this got a little broken in past couple of years, but still) * You have a good chance for an opportunity to get hands on more interesting stuff than just coding, like design/architecture (common lack of good project management is your friend here, software development is often not that streamlined and organized) * Health insurance/Dental are quite good. 7 sick days, 401k matching, 10+1 days of paid vacation (15 after 5 years)

Cons

* Low salary and almost non-existent raises/bonuses (if you are not in management) * PMs and mid level management really needs attention * This is not the company that actually bothers much about your needs (applies only to EPAM US division) * Lots of inaccurate document processing recently (e.g. accounting mistakes with W-2)

Pros

Interesting projects, high tech standards and internal knowledge sharing, and a rich representation of all possible Slavic accents.

Cons

Engineering-first culture results in obnoxiously fragmented internal tech platforms because errybody wants to build it themselves. Not a big deal, just engineers doing what engineers will do.
