Vantaggi
Working as fresher initially as junior role & shadowing could be challenging at first. But it all made sense because you get mentored & trained, which is essential ingredients for strong foundation. It enables them of take ownership for tasks and deliver with quality. Many of my friends got relocated on request basis, but good to be discussed and raised by RM. I think best time to initiate it is before project allocation. Rotation policy enable one to switch to different project. After 1.5 yrs of working with .Net automation and Jenkins job maintenance, I moved to Python test automation. After 1.5 yrs with Python, I moved to enterprise level Test data management. I was rewarded for my performance, given opportunities, cleared Assessment and got promoted, participated in CSR activities, tech events, etc. Be it from cloud enabler with sponsored cloud certification to linkedin learning platform enables quality learning a click away. I got Azure and AWS fundamental certifications. So in short, I feel EPAM is good place for learning and growth.
Svantaggi
Stipend for internship was less, only 10k in hand with PG rent was difficult. Relocation opportunities available, but self initiated relocation request without client requirement need to be self-sponsored. Goodies and team-building is mostly restricted by allocation from client. If you switched project midway, you might not get yearly team lunch/dinner which generally gets approved yearly.
