Pros

You may luck out an get assigned to a decent project (rarely). OK healthcare benefits.

Cons

Lowball salaries - way below the average for the industry and location. Rude, unprofessional management with slaveholders mentality. Overtimes are rarely payed. Chaotic organization with 3-5 managers above an average employee (not helping). Processes are present on paper yet everything depends on personal relations and pure luck. No culture and work ethics whatsoever.

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.
