Pros

Nice Office Location Very few Good Colleagues

Cons

Micro managed at its Core, Single person decides everything and gives no control to anybody else. Terrible/poor hiring strategy, only one person decides and single round of interview without any developers involvement. Favouritism, fresher became senior just in 10 months. 70% crowd came from a single company and entire upper management is from there, so they never accept others. Claimed agile but nothing agile about it. Extremely russian way of working and if russia says anything, thats it, no other opinions. HR make sure to update fake reviews. Large number of testers but no Testing and extremely poor code quality. Arrogant developers who are proud of not writing test cases. Management just wants you to write code without any quality, just make russians happy. Waiting for a very soon positive review by some of the Hrs.

Hi! Thank you for taking time to post this review! Regardless of what you're thinking, our HR is not posting fake reviews on a Glassdoor. However, we try to answer any reviews. First of all, I want to thank you for staying at Kaspersky Lab despite your experience hasn't been positive so far. We would appreciate if you contact R&D HR Partner Marina Belkina with more details. You can send her an anonymous email if you want to. Thank you for appreciating office location and some of your colleagues. And I'm 100% sure that your Russian colleagues are not happy to have the low-quality code. Also, if you want to, we can offer you cross-cultural awareness training to help with negotiations strategies with Russian peers. I believe it's more about different communication styles than about not appreciating opinions. Also, feel free to contact me via email or Linkedin. Alena Reva Glassdoor PM
