Pros

* Good line/mid-management * Very nice team - both highly professional and friendly * Lots of really interesting and state-of-the-art system programming projects

Cons

* Low salaries (used to be competitive until recent drop of Russian currency) * Inefficient, illogical and authoritarian management style of Korean partners (although this is partly compensated by good local management) * Some employees are surprisingly incompetent (guess that's normal for a large company though) * Company hires extremely (I mean _extremely_) professional guys and then give absolutely silly and boring work * Projects get started and cancelled by Korean partners all of a sudden with all existing work and experience being sent to /dev/null (funny enough projects often get restarted from scratch by another team in 2-3 years); local management don't seem to have _any_ influence on these decisions * Managers don't seem to have long-term strategy (probably caused by above) * Most real decision making is done in HQ - Moscow office is just a pitiful outsource

Pros

I've worked at a number of companies throughout my career, but this Silicon Valley company stands out as one of the best experiences I've had professionally. From day one, the culture here is genuinely different — and in the best way possible. The team is incredibly collaborative. Whether you're working cross-functionally or within your own department, people are always willing to roll up their sleeves and help. There's no ego here — just a shared commitment to doing great work together.

Cons

No cons for now so can't say nothing
