Pros

Good team (there are literally thousands people working here, so you may not get a good one, but I have a really good one). Family Insurance including dentist. Good office (AA class). Additional benefits: food compensation, gym, chill-out rooms, music room, coffee machines and so on. Company makes a lot of charity and activism (including blood donor campaigns, orphanage help, waste paper collection and a lot-lot more), and encourages this in employees, which is a rare thing for Russian employer. Cool team-buildings and corporate parties.

Cons

As a big corporation Kaspersky has a lot of bureaucracy in R&D processes (and maybe elsewhere, but I can talk only about R&D department). Often it kills off good ideas and improvements.

Thank you for your review! We're in a constant battle with bureaucracy everywhere including R&D, but with 4400 employees on board we're not always winning. Feel free to share your thoughts with your HRBP or manager, we're always appreciative for new ideas! - Alena Reva

Good company, could use some tweaks at the top

Pros

- great product - some great opportunity to grow and advance within the company - benefits are really good - office looks great after some recent renovations

Cons

- geopolitical headwinds cause a lot of distractions - lots of shifts in strategy which aren’t always communicated well - priorities are odd - for example, recently held a kickoff where top management outlined goals for the year and expectations including always adding value in everything we do, always taking things to the next level, etc. Then, one week later, a senior officer spent several days moving employees chairs around so that they match while totally disregarding employee comfort. Just odd and a poor job “leading by example” when everyone is expected to work hard.

Glad to hear that you are happy overall. There are a lot of things that go into renovations that happen behind the scenes and are not always apparent to everyone in the office. Do you think that it would be helpful to have a “Town Hall” style meeting where everyone can ask questions and have them addressed by our management team? If so, drop me a note and we can work on setting this up. Alena Reva
