Pros

hope that sooner or later you will get green card, after (moztlikely) perm audit onsite work with some leading it companies where you can build relationships with customer and more easily switch jobs if youre good at politics you have chances if youre on h1b you have go9d salary and green card leverage

Cons

as soon as you relocated here on l1 you understand that it was quite a nistake salary and bonuses are complete joke for sfbay area. if your paetner doesnt work or works not in it field prepare to see unplesant reality of living from paycheck to paycheck very slow GC processing 90% of people who get GC leave in 3 months lack of feedback from managers lack of transparency about internal processes

Pros

Interesting projects, high tech standards and internal knowledge sharing, and a rich representation of all possible Slavic accents.

Cons

Engineering-first culture results in obnoxiously fragmented internal tech platforms because errybody wants to build it themselves. Not a big deal, just engineers doing what engineers will do.
