Pros

Opportunity for international relocation: The company does offer a chance for employees to experience living in a different country, which could be an appealing aspect for some.

Cons

Inadequate planning: The company seems to lack foresight in its project planning. This results in an unstable work environment and possible sudden layoffs, as experienced in my case. Low job security: As a project-based company, there's a significant risk involved if there aren't any projects lined up. If you're not assigned a project for more than a month, your job might be in jeopardy. Unpredictable layoffs: The company tends to lay off employees without a fair warning, creating an environment of fear and uncertainty.

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.
