I have offer from cognizant and EPAM, which should I join & my domain is Life Science in both

Cognizant offer - 26 lac (25.3 lac CTC + 70K Variable) & one lac joining bonus. Right now they're saying I'll have work flexibility but my friend's saying they'll say like this but after joining they may enforce you to follow 3 days Work from office. Note- ready to match EPAM offer but again variable will be there.

EPAM Offer - 27.6 lac CTC + 40K Gratuity & one lac joining bonus Work from home flexibility Account - Novartis

Note- But I heard negative reviews in recent days. But HR and manager said they hire me for tier1 client and project duration is long term.

I'm eager to hear from current employees or former colleagues at both companies to gain insights into:

• Work-life balance: How flexible are the work arrangements in reality?
• Career growth: What are the opportunities for advancement and skill development in each company?
• Domain expertise: What is the experience like working in the Life Sciences domain at Cognizant and EPAM, specifically with the Novartis account? Your feedback will be invaluable as I make this important career decision. Thank you for your time and insights.
