      Pros

      Flexible working hours policy is convenient. A lot of good people from different countries, multicultural environment. Office location and facilities are ok.

      Cons

      There is no strong and clear vision on mission and development of the company as a tech company. Changes are implemented very slowly. Absolutely no attention is paid to employee's career development. It's unclear how promotion system works. Unprofessional and even offensive behaviour is tolerated, which leads to a lot of conflicts. For the expats special attention should be paid to contract conditions and processes around visa application and contract extensions. Contract renewal is unclear and very bureaucratic. Working spaces are very noisy and distracting, not well suited for focused work.

      Pros

      35 hour workweek. Competitive pay for someone starting their career in tech.

      Cons

      Recent cuts to PTO, cuts to 401k matching, and increases in healthcare costs made a lot of long term employees VERY upset. Leadership is not transparent.
