Pros

An excellent company for beginners to start with, which has built a powerful personnel training system. The number of different oppotunities with which you can develop your expertise is quite large. Very friendly and open atmosphere in project teams. Colleagues are always ready to help and share their experience

Cons

Disgusting management that doesn’t communicate at all and keeps you in the dark about current rules in the company (for example, frozen assessments and revisions of compensation). Non-competitive salary with the market without payment of any bonuses if you do not overtime. Quiet dismissals after 3 months on the bench. Recognition is at zero, motivation drops exponentially

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
