Pros

Interesting problems and hard problems, good office, good salary, good social guarantees, good cantina. And very good and interesting people.

Cons

Office is small for such big company, it's a bit crowded. Only 6000 rub for free food, it is enough only to eat one time a day, and not to big portion.
