Pros

There are the best technical experts and managers I've ever met. There are many options for growing your expertise in different areas. It's the best company to start your career. If you're lucky and don't give up you can find a lot of interesting opportunities within company.

Cons

Salary is lower than on the market especially for those, who have been with the company for several years. In US locations people management is very bad. Career path is very dependent on your location/project/resource manager. Management is too focused on money and KPIs and forgets about people. A lot of project managers/team leads/resource managers are over promoted. Internal communication channels are horrible.

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.
