Pros

- Office - Location - Overall desire of company to make things better to employees - Good work/life balance (though it's about to change, see cons) - Very helpful for relocated employees

Cons

- Too much dependency on the main customer - Bureaucracy is enormous - Very weak hardware (working on VDI with so-so specs) - Very poor development process (planning, estimation, etc), sometimes makes you wonder how they managed to get thus far - Oh, and they won't allow you to work from home (very soon it won't be physically possible) - No bonuses, no salary growth (almost) - Very little motivation, feedback, goals etc. Just sit and do your work.

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.
