Epam Reviews

A bad career path

I applied for a UX lead manager position I was contacted by someone who showed great interest in my profile They wanted to do a phone meeting which sounded strange from the beginning to which I requested to do it by web During the web meeting the more we talked and the more interest they showed in my profile They said I was the perfect candidate We agreed that they would send me the rate they would pay by mail to make a tentative offer They sent me a rate that I accepted immediately I didn t hear anything else from Epam for 5 days On the fifth day they contacted me by email to inform me that they had hired someone else for the position They then offered me a role as a data entry UX writer which I found disrespectful I declined their offer and expressed my confusion about their sudden interest generous offer and subsequent disappearance while informing me that they had hired someone else They said they were not offering me a job but just informing me about the rate which is not true not what we discussed They mentioned that the position has been open for a long time and that another candidate recently passed the final stage This raises concerns about transparency as I wonder why they would interview me if they already had a candidate at the final stage To avoid confrontation I did not continue answering that email as it lacked logic common sense and professionalism A week later I see that they are posting the same position again I asked them why they did all this They said I was the best candidate offered me money and then said they gave the position to someone else and offered me a lower position to 5 days later reopen the same job posting They never replied It is clear that they are building databases and or filling mediocre applications to which no one applies contacting renowned professionals and offering the leftovers It s a disgrace what they do and they probably deserve what they have for their current team
