Pros

-Emphasis and investment on employee learning and development -Flexible work arrangements

Cons

1. A conservative mindset that underpins everything they do, leading to tight budgets everywhere, and sensitive, insecure employees who fear getting outshone when someone else comes in and does a better job. 2. They try to hire for as cheap as possible but still have the audacity to charge clients big time. 3. Very biased in favour of engineers, in terms of referral programs and financial support for certification/further education. 4. They frown upon people trying to champion themselves. People tend to need to pull rank in order to get others moving, if you are an individual contributor who isn't from the CIS region and leading a project, expect things to move really slowly. 5. Only started a DEI department in recent 2 years, people there aren't really ready to talk about sensitive topics like LGBTQ. 6. They've lost huge business in 2023, and some of their best salespersons left, and many have been let go or quit before they were hit. 7. People are often based out at client offices, most of us feel very disengaged from the company itself.

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.
