Pros

Pretty friendly atmosphere and friendly teammates. Free working hours. Good office location (I mean Academgorodok with all his goods).

Cons

Hour base rate system of payments. Say you're stuck with some issue and trying to make decisions when you are taking a shower home after work. Your brain is still solving the issue but nobody expect you to report this time as working hours. Or, say, some of your teammates asks you something. You cannot wave him off, It's absolutely ok to help, but where should you put all those time spent for helping? You always had to think about whether you have enough reported hours or not to have a good money this month. Actually there is too much hype about company projects, most of which do not deserve it. I think it's better to be a little more modest. (By the way it's pretty usual behavior for Russian companies.)

Pros

I have worked for Azoft for about 2 years and really believe the company provides you with all kind of resources to grow and improve your skills including a possibility to learn from the more experienced co-workers. l think it’s important to show your team lead that you are ready to learn and improve your skill set in order to get involved in more interesting projects.

Cons

The company offers custom software development services to many DIFFERENT clients, that is a good and a bad thing for developers. One day you are working with the latest stack but the other you have to dive deep into 6 years old legacy code. But at the same time, it’s quite a common situation for all the outsourcing development companies.

Pros

Positive atmosphere The ability to work remotely Flexible work schedule The absence of pressure from management The absence of micromanagement Family like atmosphere Small and tight teams

Cons

There is a typical pipeline of outsource projects on the same tech stack. After some time software engineering becomes a little bit boring. As a consequence engineers deal with the same tech stack along all projects without any alternatives.
