Pros

1. friendly and nice co-workers (most of them) - the main reason why I worked there 2. a nice view over Voronezh from 15-17 floor (or even 25th if you go to the top of the skyscraper) 3. flexible working hours

Cons

1. really really REALLY LOW salaries 2. slow promotion based on the amount of time you have spent in the company, not merit-based (e.g. if you start as a trainee, after 3 months you became a Junior Developer, etc) 3. I started as a trainee and killed three months on their "mentoring programme". It is useless and has a degrading effect. My mentor didn't care about me at all; he was only giving me tasks, but he has never helped me to implement them or to improve my coding style (the answer to everything: "Read the book!").

Pros

A global company where you work with people from all over the world. The main perk is that you can switch projects internally without being laid off. You can also transition to a different role or a practice through the internal interview process. And you're free to work remotely. You could go to office locations. However, you don't have to.

Cons

The company can do a bit better with communicating the pros to both new hires and those who have been with the company for a while (in my experience, it depends on local HRs)
