Pros

It was a decent place back in 2016 becoming worse and worse

Cons

Was working on one of the US projects in that agency remotely for a long time. In 2022 its CEO Andrey Kudievskiy decided to fire all Russian employees (instead of relocating them) to avoid sanctions from US Government. However Distillery overcomes sanctions by opening LLC in US for Russian employees remotely and continue working with them. It is reported already and will be investigated accordingly. People treated like resources in that agency, no matter how long and hard you were working - you have no chances to salary increase. This parasitic company is just an agent who is trying to sell cheap Russian/Mexican staff as expensive Senior developers to US startups. There are overtimes that are not paid but happen almost every week. Management is not helping you if you have any issue with client, deal with it by yourself. The company has constant staff turnover because nobody likes working there.
