1. Certain projects have created a lobby (maybe regional or language specific , so you might face some back pulling if unfortunately onboarded into those project) I can not name the project , but I felt heavy setbacks in every terms whether in growth, work, communication everything, ultimately they had me ramped down by saying client cost cutting š, when I constantly raise concerns over Certain things which were not appropriate, but that's fine , even I felt stuck and de motivated there. So it totally depends on the project if you get good project then there is no chance you will leave EPAM.
2. Project allocation interviews are quite advanced or maybe too difficult level , the leads thinks that everyone is master of everything and one aspect which I want to highlight is when org is making people use of AI extensively then why these interviews focus most on syntax , book wise knowledge like you don't have anything in your support while development like stackoverflow, AI or any other help , the expectations in project interviews are too high due to which project allocation gets delayed and people start looking outside the organisation also due to insecurity.
