Pros

- Company is the industry leader. The name of the company is known - Pretty good insurance - Great team of professionals (designers/HTML/localization etc...) - As a young specialist you can participate/start lots of projects in this company and get a solid work experience

Cons

- Low salary (if we compare with the overall IT market) - As the salary is low people are frequently leaving and their load is often on your sholders until somebody new is hired...sooo lots of overworks - I am not sure why certain people were promoted to managers. There are some micromanagers, some managers can try to raise their voice on you or try to persuade you to overwork with no additional pay... - This company has been founded in Saint-Petersburg, Russia in 2006 by two Russians. The company tries to hide this information, since they try to sell software to USA government... it is weird how russians are treated in this company. This is just a pure racism: - in June 2022 all Russian office was forced to move to Erevan (Armenia). They had just one month to move. Those who left company got several salaries, those who moved got smaller salary, but some compensation + bonuses to partially pay flats - Russians were allowed to work from any country, but not Russia. If you want to go to your motherland to see your family/visit a doctor or anything else you have to write an official paper to your manager, then give your laptop to the company, they cut your work access -> you can go to Russia. However once you are back, you should write to an email that you are back, go to your manager physically, so that he confirms that you are really in Erevan and only theeen they will connect you to your work account and you can work..

Thank you for your input on how we're trying to help our Russian employees. We'd like to share that due to the acts of aggression against Ukraine and the resulting sanctions, we have had to make the difficult decision to close our Russian office. We have offered to relocate all our Russian employees to Armenia and implemented new policies so we can continue to keep them as part of the Veeam Team - this process is an ongoing one as we explore new opportunities for the team

We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the work-life balance and that the caliber of your colleagues has been a standout - that's something we hear often and are proud of.

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
