NEWTOWN, PA — Global product development and digital platform engineering services company, EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE: EPAM), has been recognized as one of the top 10 preferred tech companies in Colombia among professionals under 35 years old, according to the 2024 Top of Mind Index Tech study conducted by FirstJob. This recognition follows EPAM’s strategic expansion in Latin America and underscores its commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and inclusivity.
The FirstJob study, which surveyed over 14,000 young professionals, ranked EPAM 6th out of more than 1,400 identified companies, marking a significant leap from its 11th place standing in 2023. This climb on the leaderboard reflects the company’s efforts to provide an exceptional employee experience, foster a dynamic business culture, and drive technological innovation.
JP Vergara, Senior Director and Country Head for Colombia and the Dominican Republic at EPAM, expressed gratitude for the recognition. “Colombia is home to many talented IT professionals who are eager to learn and help us make the future real for clients worldwide,” he said. “We’re committed to being an inclusive workplace where every individual can grow and thrive.”
EPAM’s rise to prominence in Colombia has been rapid. In 2023, the company expanded its footprint in Latin America by opening offices in Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia. This move not only created new opportunities for local technical talent but also expanded EPAM’s global delivery centers, enhancing value for clients.
The company’s growth was further bolstered by its acquisition of Colombian tech firm S4N, strengthening its ability to deliver advanced solutions and fostering a more agile, diverse global delivery organization.
EPAM’s recognition in Colombia is part of a broader trend of global acclaim. The company has recently been named a top employer in multiple locations worldwide by Glassdoor, Built In, and kununu. These accolades add to a growing list of esteemed recognitions, including Newsweek’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplace, Best Workplace for Women in Tech, and Top 10 Best Companies for Young Professionals in Mexico.
The company’s recognition as a top tech employer in Colombia is an encouraging sign for the technology sector in Latin America. It spotlights the region’s potential as a hub for tech talent and innovation, and it signals to other global tech firms the benefits of investing in Latin American markets. As EPAM continues to grow and innovate, it sets a high bar for other tech companies aspiring to attract young talent and foster an inclusive, dynamic business culture.
