Pros
The benefits are genuinely great, probably the only redeeming quality. The first year felt promising, with exciting projects and a collaborative environment.
Cons
Constant hiring and firing, job stability is a myth. The company continues hiring in Russia via third-party agencies, despite publicly distancing itself. Layoffs always affect local employees, while expats are untouched — a clear bias. Leadership turned political and toxic almost overnight. If you’re “their people,” you’ll magically skip interview steps, get fast-tracked, and even receive sign-on bonuses, despite the company not officially offering them. Salary distribution is wildly inconsistent. Some individuals are overpaid with no real contribution.. just endless talk and no results. Gossip is rampant and confidentiality is nonexistent. People from other departments know your salary, professionalism is lacking.
