Good place to start

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to start career in Russia's top-level IT-companies. Lots of tasks (even interesting sometimes). Good salary and impressive bonuses. Strong ethical principles.

Cons

Poor technical skills of top-developers (front-end) and very strong cult of developers over the company lead to poor decisions which affects all other developers and make them suffer. Poor communication between different roles in projects. Lack of retrospective. Too much work that must have been done yesterday.
