Pros

- Good location in the historical center - I am satisfied salary and bonus system, competitive to other yaroslavl companies - Very good carear opportunities, you can start as a junior SDE and grow to be a part of the management - Relocation to USA opportunity (H1B sponsorship) - Very understandable management, understand complains, easy to speak about salary questions etc. - Clear understanding of what to do if you want to have more money - Interesting job - US projects, there are not much companies in the city where you can try yourself out in world-wide projects (I know only 2) - Trips abroad (to USA and not only, but I personally was only in USA) - Compensation for conferences, bonuses for participating in conferences - Nice people in the office - Additional work hours are always compensated - Initiative people are very welcome, it is good for such persons

Cons

- You should speak very beforehand about your vacation and it is hard to take days OOF e.g. this or next week - Without english skills no way for good carear, so you should know it at least intermediate to have grow - Sometimes we have stuck in the meeting room when 2 teams want to dicsuss something in the same time, so we have to deside what team will go for discussion to the kitchen

Pros

They give you a contract job at Microsoft

Cons

As an employee you're worth nothing. Your contract is worth. Once you loose it by any reason, you're nothing again. Money are valued here, big money. But they are not for you. People are not valued, they can bring more, and more loyal than you. Because they know less about the company than you.
