Pros

Office or remote, you can choose. 50% compensation for commercial medical insurance. Volleyball or yoga classes, English classes - free of charge. Free snacks, tea and coffee. New year holiday gifts. English-speaking clients.

Cons

* Boring tasks. Yes, it's a classical outsourcing sweatshop. Old-school codebase with a lot of trash code as a legacy. * Unclear feedback. You will receive reviews from unfamiliar people which didn't use to work with. Some devs were fired in one day after feedbacks like this. * Boring office space in St. Petersburg. Just trivial while walls with brown tables soviet-style design. The office stays silent and empty most of the time, so it sometimes looks really scary. * Senior management collects rumors and then uses them as a weapon if something goes wrong with your productivity. Shameless practice. * Lack of corporate activities. Just formal boring new year holidays plus summer activities. Some people seem atomized, especially remote workers.

Pros

The company genuinely cares about its employees, creating a respectful and supportive environment. People are treated like humans, not just resources — this is not a “galera” setup. There are strong opportunities for professional growth through challenging tasks and working with modern technologies. Projects and tech stacks are diverse, which keeps the work dynamic and interesting. Highly recommend for anyone looking to grow and feel valued.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging at times; however, it largely depends on the specific project.
