Great Place to Work® Certification™ is the most definitive “employer-of-choice” recognition that companies aspire to achieve. It is the only recognition based entirely on what employees report about their workplace experience – specifically, how consistently they experience a high-trust workplace.

India now has about 25 senseis who are actively growing the community and acting as mentors and coaches for game participants. One such sensei is engineer Varma Datla says, “Coding DOJO is three hours of fun, where you get away from your daily grind, meet people from other projects or even accounts, look at technical problems ‘right here, right now’ and straightaway get to solving them. It’s a competition where you see your and others’ results right at the end of the game, and you’re always curious about your colleagues’ algorithms and strategies.

“From the engineer’s perspective, Coding DOJO is fun — and that makes it good from the business perspective. When we were just starting to conduct these meetups, we had only a few participants. But word of mouth got out, and we’ve grown quickly. We bring in new games and mix up players who know different technologies to keep their interest.”
Community manager Sameena Ali says, “Under the Engineering Excellence program in India, we work with various platforms, especially Coding DOJO. Indians love to communicate, experiment with new things and improve their skills. It’s just a part of our culture. We are trying to build a Culture of Togetherness to promote a spirit of teamwork amongst our employees. We got started in March of this year and conduct at least two meetings a month. The entire EPAM India team is grouped into 6 'houses', who participated in a string of friendly competitions to win the Best House of the year. Amongst these competitions, ENGX Coding Dojo was one of the major tournaments. Over 12 weeks, 600 employees from 6 houses participated and cheered their teams in this tournament. The tournament was won by Aishwarya Bommisetty, Praveen Mustepally, and Rajeev Marrapu.”

In its classical Japanese sense, a dojo is a place for developing martial arts skills — for everyone, from toddlers to the highest-ranking masters. Coding DOJO does the same thing, only with engineering mastery. It’s a virtual environment where engineers perfect their programming skills. As with martial arts dojos, Coding DOJO welcomes developers of all levels, from newcomers to seasoned professionals.
This is important for EPAM, because we create complex solutions that are constantly changing — and the platforms, languages, methodologies and industries change along with them. It is critical that we, in turn, constantly improve our skills.

Software engineers don’t only code – they often play other critical roles and functions in many different capacities – including business analysis, testing, leadership, DevOps and maintenance. That’s why Sanchit Balchandani, EPAM’s lead software engineer in India, explores the ways in which empathy has helped grow his career and how it can help fellow engineers build better client relationships, create better products, build great teams and chart successful careers.
How often do we really practice empathy in our lives? I often find that whilemost of us understand the importance of empathy, unconsciously we seem to avoid being empathetic at the most important moments.
I’ve been working in the IT industry for about 11 years now, during which I’ve worked with people from different geographies. Over the past four years, I’ve also been leading small to mid-size software development teams. From my experience working with people from different cultures and at different levels, whether it’s peers, managers, senior management or customers, the one thing that makes people stand out is empathy. In this article I’ll share why empathy is a crucial skill for a software engineer.
A clarifying point before we begin -- sympathy is not empathy. Sympathy is more about feeling sorry for someone, whereas empathy is about putting yourself in the other person’s shoes and understanding their situation. Empathy opens the door to a range of long-lasting emotions and feelings.
So, what does this have to do with software engineering?
Beyond coding, software engineers play a critical role in many different capacities such as business analysis, testing, leadership, DevOps and maintenance. Each of these roles involves interaction with people. Wherever you deal with people, empathy is vital. Empathy can help you build client relations, foster a more inclusive team environment, create better products and grow your career. Let’s look at a few examples. <h6>WORKING WITH FELLOW ENGINEERS</h6>
Let’s look at how we do Pull Request (PR) Reviews. Often, they end up in unnecessary conflicts. PR reviews are not about finding ‘X’ number of issues in someone else's PR; they’re about collaboration and creating a good coding practice. Any conflicts can be avoided or resolved if the PR review process involves empathy.
As a developer, when you code with empathy in mind, you take greater responsibility and do your best to reduce small and avoidable errors on your end before forwarding it for review. Similarly, as a PR reviewer, empathetic understanding can help you collaborate better and reach solutions faster.<h6>INTERACTING WITH CUSTOMERS</h6>
Customer interactions can sometimes be tricky for software developers. Engineers tend to think from a technical standpoint, and this can differ from a customer’s understanding of things, especially if they don’t have a technical background. In these instances, it is the developer's responsibility to understand, ask questions, listen and adapt. The more you hear, the more informed you will be and the better the product will turn out, with fewer iterations. When providing updates to the customer, we need to help them understand the situation without using technical terms. This all makes things easier for both clients and the developers in the long run. <h6>LEADING A TEAM</h6>
Empathy is a must-have quality for modern-day industry leaders. As a leader, you work with people who have different skillsets, temperaments, backgrounds and cultures. By applying more empathy, you will be better equipped to:<ul><li>Influence others more effectively</li><li>Have conversations that will bring out the best in your team</li><li>Motivate people around you and help them grow</li></ul><h6>CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS</h6>
Empathy can be critical in helping an interviewer identify a candidate's potential. You will put the candidate at ease, give them enough time to answer, encourage them to share their stories, ask the right questions and keep your own reactions in check. It will also help you ask questions that are not binary but ask for their experiences, so you get the best out of the candidate – hearing what they have prepared to say, but hopefully also hearing them speak from the heart. By being more empathetic you will better understand how they think, behave and make decisions.<h6>HOW TO PRACTICE EMPATHY</h6>
If you’ve read to this point, I hope it’s evident that empathy is not only a feeling but a much-needed skill in today's software engineer's profile. Like any other skill, this will need practice. Personally, I analyze some of my conversations retrospectively and reflect on what could be done better next time.
You can also start practicing empathy with the task at hand. When you are creating a product, keep the end user in mind -- how they would interact with it, what they really need and what would make it successful. Other simple ways include adding API documentation which makes it easier for others to use your APIs and, of course, making your code readable so that another developer won’t have a hard time understanding it.
Ultimately, empathy is an acquired skill that will reward you with trust, clarity and perspective.

In Japan, a DOJO is a place to train, compete and achieve ranks in martial arts. In our case, the DOJO is where programmers become stronger by exchanging knowledge and just having a good time. Coding DOJO can take different forms. One example is how developers get together to do kata – simple tasks for improving their engineering mastery. Another form is Codenjoy, or coding for fun, where participants create bots and compete in simple games. Coding DOJO at EPAM is something much bigger than just fun meetups. At EPAM India Coding DOJO needed only six months to become a large-scale practice. We did a total of 16 events with about 800 participants in 2019!

The Testing community is one of the bigger communities at EPAM India. They are an active bunch, whose love for code transcends everything else. They had an action packed 2019, where a lot of community members organized many tech talks and collaborative learning events. Their sessions covered a range of topics like:<ul><li>API Testing series workshop - where they focused each week on different types of API testing. They brought in SMEs who covered the entire gamut of Functional, Performance, Automation and Security testing under the API series. Speakers used live case studies as demo examples to make their sessions more relatable and easier to comprehend.</li><li>Internal Test-Auto-Thon, where close to 25 teams participated in it. This was basically a hackathon for software test engineers where participants were required to implement an automation and integration workflow involving multiple test scenarios for a web application. The test scenarios include Web UI scenarios (desktop & mobile) as well web service end point(s). Of the 25 teams who participated, the top 4 teams were chosen to represent EPAM India at the All-India Testautothon competition organised by Step-In across three cities - Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Pune.</li></ul>

For the external events, the community forged new partnerships with Null Hyderabad & Step-In communities, who designed interesting community meetup experiences for us. 
With Step-In, EPAM engineers participated in the all-India Testautothon contests in Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad. The team at Hyderabad won the second place in this testautothon. Congratulations to Srinivas Jonnala, Satya Prasad
During the months of September & October, the community did two events with Null Hyderabad - one on IOT Communication Security. The other Null event was the community's 100th event, where EPAMers Harikrishna Valugonda and Sai Palvai took key sessions. Hari spoke about how to look for sensitive information like cloud secret keys, passwords, etc., from the git repositories of an application. He demonstrated manual ways to obtain the info and using some automated tools. Sai spoke about escaping docker containers, where he demonstrated techniques on how to escape attackers who access the file system by exploiting various misconfigurations inside the docker.

EPAM India is Excited to Welcome Four New Leaders

EPAM Agile Community in partnership with Agile Network India (ANI) hosted a group of engineers and agile enthusiasts to discuss various ways in which we can inculcate the agile mindset in our daily work. We had speakers from different organizations who presented on a range of topics.
First speaker, Arjun Majumdar (Agile Coach, F5 Networks) took a session on "Employee Engagement in Agile World". He spoke about employee motivators, building an agile culture at work, and how leadership models can be redefined using agile - as a part of his Employee Engagement session. One interesting takeaway from his session was about nurturing leaders, which involves; Finding & Shaping Brilliance, Creating Goal Clarity & Alignment, Boldly Raising the Bar after each success!
The second speaker Satya Yellapantula (Scrum Master, Pegasystems) spoke about "Engaged Retrospectives" with new or geographically distributed teams. From ice-breaking fun games to mood connect survey of "glad, mad, sad" - she showed how simple games could be used to deepen the bond within the team, increase trust and break the monotony of routine. She also spoke about a "Library of Games" as an employee engagement medium, a fascinating concept some organizations use to foster team spirit. 
The last speaker of this session was our very own EPAMer Ratan Das (Scrum Master & Sr. Delivery Mgr, EPAM Systems), who presented our globally successful case study of building Agile distributed teams as a part of the Mastercard GDPR project. He spoke about how, when it came to globally distributed teams, the biggest deterrent to implementing agile methodology is, not surprisingly, physical location. Some of the factors that must be considered to effectively implement agile methodology include team efficiency and productivity, real-time implementation feedback and team alignment.

A community is a place to collaborate and network with like-minded people who share your passion. At EPAM that passion is learning no matter what the topic is! We launched the Testing Community with an exclusive event called tester's Day, where we invited EPAMers from all competencies to learn more about different testing competencies - Functional, Performance, Security, and Automation.

We had experts take our associates through a series of fun and interactive sessions to introduce them to the world of testing and the adventure it involves. The session ended with a spirited hack-on-the-go demo session, where associates experienced a live hacking session to see how security testers do their work up close and personal.

This forum is a first step towards providing a unified direction to initiate collective action towards creating a gender balanced workplace at EPAM India.

The launch was marked by activities such as a Tech Talk series on ‘Next Wave Technology’ by EPAMers, an exclusive Coding Dojo challenge for women coders in Hyderabad, an external speaker session at Pune by two engaging women leaders - Mrs. Kavita Kulkarni - CHRO at Varroc Engineering Limited, and Mrs. Sulabha Deuskar - Vice principal & Head, Dept of Electronic Science, Modern college.
Bhargavi Sriram won the Tech Talk series, while Anita Tripuraneni & Aishwarya Bommisetty won the Women’s Coding Dojo challenge.
Celebrations galore, deeply insightful talks, and engaging conversations marked this launch. Ponnaga V - Delivery Manager, summed the context and the reason behind why a Women in technology forum is important - "A balanced workforce ensures a diverse range of perspectives and ideas, thereby driving productivity and innovation higher in organizations. This in turn leads to higher revenues. Gender diversity is more than just a feminist topic, it is the need of the hour for all businesses and countries."

Women in Technology Forum

At EPAM, we believe that people are the key to building a unique culture and achieving success. With that in mind, we've developed several programs to attract, engage and develop the best people, programs that tie together EPAM’s shared values and individual success.
EPAM India’s introduction of the Voluntary Leave Donation Policy (VLDP) is one such effort. 
We spoke with Shashikanth Bondugula, Head of HR for EPAM India, about why this unique idea was introduced and how it works.
What is Voluntary Leave Donation Policy (VLDP)? 
VLDP is a policy under which an EPAM India associate may voluntarily donate their earned leaves to another associate who is undergoing a personal or medical crisis and has exhausted his/her personal leave balance. 
What was the objective behind this policy? 
One of the key values of EPAM culture is that we always "Act as a team." When one team member faces a crisis, then the entire team stands behind that member and supports them. Emergency events occur without warning and knowing that your team has your back in such a crisis is always reassuring. VLDP was conceptualized keeping this value in mind.
A lot of us accumulate leaves and sometimes don't end up using them. If those unused leaves could benefit another associate in times of a crisis, then it just seems like the right thing to do.
How does this policy work? 
We have defined a detailed process for associates to avail this benefit. Some key steps involved in this policy workflow are:<ul><li>Associate submits their application for availing VLDP to a panel (made up of immediate reporting manager and the HR Team).</li><li>A detailed investigation of the case is done by the panel to determine the authenticity, urgency and a permissible number of leaves to sanction. This is done within a stipulated amount of time.</li><li>Once the application is approved, a request for donation is sent out to all India associates.</li><li>Associates then contribute leaves as per their wish and discretion.</li><li>Once the requisite number of leaves are collected, they are then credited to the associate in need.</li></ul>
Are there any kinds of limitations to avail VLDP? 
VLDP is available to all EPAM India associates. However, some checks have been put in place to ensure that this benefit is utilized in the way it is meant to be. Some of these checks are:<ul><li>VLDP can be availed by associates who have completed a minimum of 6 months of tenure with EPAM.</li><li>An associate is eligible to apply for a VLDP only once in a year.</li><li>Associates are not permitted to donate more than half of their annual leaves.</li><li>And as mentioned earlier, VLDP can only be availed for a personal or medical crisis only.</li></ul>
How many associates have availed this policy so far? 
It's been 6 months since we have launched this policy, and 8 EPAMers have availed this benefit so far. Associates have donated close to 70 leaves in this period! The fact that so many associates, who may or may not have a direct connect with the leave recipient, have donated their leaves heartily goes to show that we practice the values we preach. This is a true representation of the Culture of Togetherness at EPAM India. 
Testimonials from Associates who have availed VLDP:
“After having been diagnosed with a chronic illness, I had to undergo a couple of surgeries followed by an extended treatment and recovery period. This was exhausting both physically and financially, since an extended leave meant a Loss of Pay too.
While I was in the middle of my treatment, VLDP was introduced and it turned out to be a savior for me. The whole process of availing the leave was seamless and so many people were donating their leave. At least now I did not have to worry about LOP while fighting my medical battles.
Thanks to Shashi and team for being so thoughtful and introducing this policy. It is very helpful and a kind gesture of showing support towards the associates who are in critical need"
