Pros

Friendly developers. Interesting tasks. Good opportunity to work with Cassandra and Spark, which I have always dreamt about, but never found time to it.

Cons

A lot of technical questions on interviews and besides that a piece of code that you need to write at home. Need to remember CS techniques to pass an interview. Most of developers are Russian speakers with moderate English so sometimes they just discuss tasks in Russian. Slightly far to commute to Richmond.

Pros

- Friendly and fun culture + cooperative employees. As pointed out in other reviews, many employees are Russians. Previously I had the misconception that Russians can be rude and uncommunicative, and was pleasantly surprised to be proven completely wrong. Employees are very friendly and highly willing to help. Team-building events are also quite fun, such as BBQ, canoeing, go-carting and axe throwing. - Continuous learning. There is an atmosphere of keeping up-to-date with the latest technologies at News360. Employees are genuinely passionate about the newest technologies. Every two weeks or so, tech talks are held where employees present or discuss new technologies, existing issues, or how they solved a problem or built a system. I joined News360 as a new graduate, and would recommend other new graduates to try it out too. I have truly learned a lot and enjoyed my time here.

Cons

- Russian is still the preferred way of communication at times among the Russian employees, although understandably so.
