Pros

- Possibility to work remotely - Small workload (but it depends on a project)

Cons

- The company skimps on almost everything. Interns work for half a year with a minimal salary or without any salary at all. In order to increase your salary, you'll probably need to get an offer from another company. The process of increasing will then be reduced from several months to several days. The medical insurance is pretty simple and cheap. Several benefits were cancelled without any substitutions. Overtime used to be paid at 2x or 1.5x rate, now it's only 1x. Offices and hardware are pretty simple. - The company doesn't value people with minimal experience or without any because it's hard to sell them to customers. Decent salary should be demanded. - Bureaucracy is awful and becomes even worse. Assessment (to a next grade) is more about writing goals (normally according to SMART, which might not be even applicable), writing reviews for yourself and begging for reviews from already busy people. - It's not always convenient to work in distributed teams. Sometimes you need to wait for the whole day to contact your colleague from across the ocean. - The level of employees is pretty low, since company hires non technical people and makes them "specialists" in half a year, which is nonsense.

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
