Pros

The quality of people at Kaspersky Lab is second to none. Eugene makes a point of maintaining a strong engineering culture, where innovation flourishes. The dedication and expertise of Kaspersky employees easily beats that of Google and Amazon or anyone else. The products and technologies are great, often cutting-edge, the company spirit is high. Employees are generally looked after, cherished and rewarded generously. There is a lot of buzz and fun, and the employees play as hard as they work! The culture is as close as it can be to a start-up, and there is a lot of "can-do."

Cons

Company management is slightly lost in the modern competitive security market and seems to be somewhat behind the curve with their vision. Their technology is fantastic, but their ability to communicate their technological superiority is limited. Eugene is extremely charismatic, and although he has good reasons not to trust people, even his seemingly closest allies, it is difficult to deny that the consumer and even corporate endpoint will not sustain the company for much longer, as demonstrated by their financial results. The career opportunities outside of Moscow office are limited.

Thank you for appreciating our stellar people, they are indeed our greatest asset. We haven't perfectly nailed strategy management just yet, that is true. But that is currently a problem for the whole cyber security market. Due to political turmoils around the globe, many unexpected players shape the market in unexpected ways. We are working on plays to ensure we propel inclusiveness, so if you have any interest in sending Louise Brunhoj or me your thoughts on specific actionable solutions on this, would love to hear them. Thank you for your input, your review, and your pushes. Alena Reva
