Interesting tasks, no time for life outside of work

Head analytics manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

interesting tasks, great peers. Most interesting tasks to work on at least in Moscow

Cons

Starting from middle grades management will be expecting you to work at least 10-11 hours per day and to respond to their questions 7 days a week. Technically you can refuse to do it, but then you'll receive bad review score and eventually asked to leave the company.
