Pluspunten

Epam is partnered with one of the big 3 cloud services providers (Google). Epam in Japan was founded because of that one contract - to provide support for Google Cloud in multiple languages - Japanese, Korean and Chinese. That said, its a great place to gain experience with Google Cloud; its a good career jumpstart to be a Cloud Engineer. The work environment is very globalized with many different nationalities. This is uncommon in Japan and definitely makes a global work environment. It is definitely not Japanese-style in terms of management. If you want a gaishiki-kei (foreign) company based in Japan, this is a good place to be.

Minpunten

The company is struggling to gain clients in Japan. This is also partly due to management obsessed with the Epam brand - client must be big, must be a big contract and must be in line with Epam's software engineering heritage. The other part of the issue is management themselves - too political, seeing how the Google project is run. There are people who are vying for power at all cost and it is getting in the way of things.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time

Pluspunten

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Minpunten

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
