Pros

Makes an effort to create a positive, principled and friendly work environment. Many good people at this company. Probably a better career opportunity for programmers and perhaps better for those in the Russia office.

Cons

Many bad communicators in leadership positions leaning towards stunted and aggressive communication. Inconsistent messages from different leaders and departments. Lack of effective and mature communication when the going gets tough. Uses HR as a tool rather than as a check and balance. Overly conventional and logical under pressure. Performance review process shows lack of understanding how to work with people, how to discern top priorities and how to determine what is actually relevant and why.

Pros

Office space in a WeWork and free lunch on Thursdays where they discuss company goals. Good flex hours and work/ life balance.

Cons

There is an obvious divide between the Russian corporate culture in the Omsk office and the NY office culture. The former is friendly and productive. The latter is a disjointed culture where sales and marketing seems distant from the engineering side and communication is spotty, passive aggressive and often mixed up. There is no on-boarding help and it's hard to figure out what the company's about on your own, as it's frowned upon to ask others outside your team for help. Fake transparency with subordinates and the division of labor isn't well spread out. As with any startup, there is a lot of change but the change here seems to be sprung upon the employees more often than usual without an explanation.
