Pros

Great talent people, all are engineers of great skills.

Cons

Management only cares for "metrics", if "bench" is good, you can be in the worst project, with the worst manager and nobody cares. You can do all the job the client asks, you can be a top performer, but if you don't play their game, giving extra time on initiatives or being a close friend with the manager, you are a "bad performer". You go to bench and in no time they fire you if in that instant they can't get you a project, even if before you were a great developer and the project ended without your fault.

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.
