      A lot of bureaucracy.

      Pros

      Legal salary, medical insurance, the opportunity to obtain new technical knowledge.

      Cons

      A lot of bureaucracy, a lot of negotiations, a lot of unnecessary technical procedures, very inflexible management.

      Pros

      1. Healthcare. 2. Free tea and coffee but that's pretty much par for the course at most companies. 3. An onsite gym if you can get a moment to actually use it is a different story.

      Cons

      1. If you wish to make about 20-25% LESS than at other companies for the same role then this could be the place for you! 2. Work/Life balance is a joke, you'll find yourself working at nights and weekends because of awful management. 3. You have to be in the clique to advance yourself in any way. 4. Awful broken English from Russian colleagues - sometimes making simple jobs seem like a nightmare. 5. Incompetent people seem to "fail upwards" whilst dedicated and skilled employees fall by the wayside - again the "clique" effect. 6. Enjoy being underpaid whilst Eugene Kaspersky becomes a newly minted billionaire, globetrotting like a poor mans Richard Branson. 7. It's a Russian company that is basically in the news every other week for the wrong reasons, just recently - even the department of homeland security has issued a guidance to "avoid the vendor" 8. Progress is as slow as a glacier, example - company switched from Drupal CMS to Tridion, a process that took a mere 4 years. 9. Extremely long and dull days, micromanaged to death on everything, creative thinking is not applauded. 10. Revolving doors employment, I have seen good employees come and go whilst the driftwood seems to linger on.

      First of all, thank you for caring so much about this company to bring this to the forefront. It must be tough for you to experience all of it and do your daily job with proper efficiency. Please, find time to contact me directly. I promise to find a way to address almost all issues you experience except for 4 and 6. Regarding 4: Our company is a transnational one, people of more than 37 nationalities work here, and English is a not native language for most of them, including your Russian peers. I can offer you company sponsored language learning if you want to. You can learn Russian amongst other languages to make communication with your Russian peers easier. Regarding 6: we have no influence over Eugene's spendings, fortune, and lifestyle. But he regularly reads Glassdoor reviews, and I'm sure will view yours. Alena Reva

      Pros

      People. Great colleagues, who will help you, who will allow you to help the customer, and save the world. Not too bureaucratised.

      Cons

      People. Management should listen to employees. No need to increase bureaucracy, as processes are working fine already. Incompetent people are not being fired.

      Thank you for the positive feedback about your colleagues! Also, we were fighting excessive bureaucracy for last three years; I'm so happy to read that we are succeeding. As for cons, people are the core value of our company; we usually think more than twice before labeling someone as incompetent. However, your point on better communication inside the company is taken. I'll address it to relevant people. Alena Reva
