Pros

- Solid company background - Very smart top management - Engineering skills are in the focus - You might find yourself in a five-star company if get assigned to a good project with good management

Cons

- Depending on the actual project you get assigned to, you might find yourself in a very different company than you were hired for - There is no clear (if at all) communication about: how to change project (without leaving the company/getting no salary raise for years/no promotions etc.) - Compensation policy is intentionally vague - Some people managers seriously lack the honesty and integrity to be good leaders, they are soldiers (sometimes working against their people's interests) - You might find yourself in a zero-star company if get assigned to a bad project with bad management

Pros

Interesting projects, high tech standards and internal knowledge sharing, and a rich representation of all possible Slavic accents.

Cons

Engineering-first culture results in obnoxiously fragmented internal tech platforms because errybody wants to build it themselves. Not a big deal, just engineers doing what engineers will do.
