Pros

* Many highly skilled developers to learn from and grow with * Interesting and challenging tasks that provide solid engineering experience * The company previously offered subsidized mortgage programs

Cons

* Extremely flawed performance review system: even if you work overtime and meet all goals, you may receive neither a promotion nor a bonus * Completely non-transparent evaluation process: every six months leadership обещает “fix the system,” but nothing actually changes * As a result, employees often wait another 6+ months for raises or bonuses * Heavy dependence on middle management, which can subjectively reinterpret or even rewrite your achievements * Generally weak management: many managers lack the necessary leadership and professional skills, often promoted internally without sufficient preparation * Poor technological planning: the company frequently builds duplicate components and even entire services
