Pros

- Variety of projects, where it is possible to try out new roles, learn and practice new skills; - Large bank of educational courses, programs, communities, etc.; - Opportunity for both vertical and horizonal career growth; - Strong cultural spirit, openness, respect, helpful colleagues; - Large system of benefits; - Company's reputation; - 7 days of sick leave; - Comfortable offices, modern hardware.

Cons

- Salary range might be a bit lower than in the market and it might be a bit difficult to get a decent raise, however, it may depend on different factors; - To get a promotion, there is an internal procedure called "Assessment", which might be pretty challenging to pass, and there have been cases when people could not pass it, left the company and then joined again with already a more senior title. And the same applied to a salary raise - it sometimes easier to get a higher one if coming from the market rather than when already being in the company.

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

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
