Pros

- Work/Life balance - you can be very flexible if you don't work with clients and don't have shifts, take a day-off anytime and start you working day when it is comfortable for you, easy to manage with your studies if you are a student - Very good medical insurance - Colleagues - everyone is very young, friendly and supportive, which creates a very comfortable environment and a unique atmosphere like nowhere else

Cons

- All decisions, starting from buttons design in the app and finishing with hiring policy, are taken by the owner of the company - Poor management: the best thing which management can do is do not disturb you, very unprofessional and doest not care about its employees or company's strategy/future - Strange marketing: you will find 15 instagram accounts of the company with a sexist, tasteless and vulgar content, which makes you feel shame for the company at which you are working, and everyone understands it, but => go to the first point - Instead of spending funds on QA engineers, data analysis, motivate current employees and hire professionals, funds are spend on trashy marketing stuff like Miss Dukascopy contest - Salary below the market - Non-existent promotion - the only way to get a promotion is to tell that you have been offered a better job and you are leaving, which creates a situation when salary difference for the same position and same responsibilities can be 2.5-3x

Pros

- a good salary, if you come before 2015 - sufficient freedom of action. In my position, I could do what I consider necessary and improve any projects within my competence. - A large number of interesting projects: financial, forex, conferences, TV, beauty contests, many native applications, the community - standard medical insurance, tax payment, cookies, coffee - friendly staff

Cons

In 2013-2014 I could give an overall rating of 4-4.5. But since then, much has changed in the company. And in 2017-2018 this is a completely different company. - complete lack of management, especially on special projects of the owner of the company, everything is urgent, no planning, "I just want it and this is your problem" - lack of responsibility and accuracy in middle management. Typical Russian management is "urgent, urgent, very urgent, but now it is not necessary." Lack of typical phases of the process: planning, implementation, analysis - can dismiss without giving a reason, especially if your salary is above $ 3000 per month - superior managers on some projects may be rude - salaries from 2016 fell below in IT-market

Pros

It could be a learning experience if you're just starting your career and they have a monthly networking event with free champagne which doesn't hurt.

Cons

Low salary, sexist, zero transparency, backstabbing superiors, no team spirit, an overall dishonest organization. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
