Pros

It's a cool line in your CV (especially for the CIS market and Russia), nice offices, interesting tasks

The comfort of work depends on the team. It's a constant race with no balance between personal life and work. It's difficult to raise grades and salaries; compensation isn't the highest on the local market.
