Also wanted to know what happens when you join EPAM and stay on bench for first month of joining will they pay you as per CTC or only basic pay would be there I have 5yoe in DevOps

Why so?
Curious to know
Is Kotak good?
Or is EPAM just worse?

With 5 years and 33 LPA, you will always be on radar in EPAM...

You will get the following cases after joining,
1. 3 to 5 client interviews- You have to crack 1
2. 2 to 4 months- Max bench time

And this depends on market season as well, I've seen my colleagues getting fired without giving single project interview.

If you fail in any of the above cases, you are fired without any chance.

Challenges above:
1. Most of the client interviews are very tough, they expect a 100% match on the project requirements. Most people clear it with very hard efforts.
2. For getting a project- There will be two interviews, project interview (usually taken by a member in the project from EPAM side for 30 to 60 mins) to screen your profile. If you clear that you will again go through a direct client interview for around 1 to 1.5 hours. On clearing this you will get onboard.
3. Most of the projects (80 to 90%) in EPAM are short termed (3 to 6 months) and you will have to undergo the tedious interview process each time when you look for a project.
4. On top of everything, the projects are very less here.

All the best, and take informed decisions per your commitments etc.

@public sapient:

You cannot figure out the ratio of people cracking an interview as the number keeps flowing (new hire and exit).

Yes, the project duration is across most of the practices and they keep doing silent firing every month.

All the best and take your call.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
