EPAM

I worked at EPAM and had the opportunity to gain valuable professional experience and work on large-scale projects with talented colleagues. The company offers excellent learning resources, certification opportunities, and access to cutting-edge technologies, which were instrumental in building my career as a young specialist.

However, my experience also highlighted significant challenges. The demanding workload, high expectations, and intense pace contributed to a high level of stress. Unfortunately, this led to burnout and serious health issues, including carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and cubital syndrome in my left hand, which I developed by the age of 24.

While EPAM provides tools for professional growth, I feel the company needs to prioritize employee well-being more effectively. This could include:

Promoting better work-life balance and realistic workloads.

Offering ergonomic assessments and training for employees to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

Encouraging regular breaks and physical activity during long working hours.

Fostering a supportive culture where employees feel safe to raise concerns about health and workload.

I believe EPAM has the resources and capacity to lead by example in employee care, and I hope future initiatives address these concerns to create a healthier, more sustainable environment for its talented workforce.
