Pros
The global brand and global colleagues
Cons
The Moscow office has an extremely high level of arrogance, condescension, and hostility. Russia has few job opportunities, and the people (from the top down) act like they are gods. What they lose in intellect to hedge fund managers, venture capitalists, private equity investors, tech & entrepreneurs etc etc, they MORE than make up for in their arrogance. Horrible place, and the culture is set by the top, so think twice if you expect any change here. There are 0 exit options in Russia, and they know this, so they will do whatever they want. They clearly don't care. Hilarious to hear "BCG values" mentioned in the Moscow office, as if to make the whole experience even more insulting. Some of the partners there, like the head of FI, would never work in a more professional market like London, but this is Russia. Really a horrible horrible place and very different from global offices, where people actually thank you and respect you.
