Pros

Great Salary, Comfortable Workspace. Good benefits

Cons

Although the company presents itself as international, significant language and cultural barriers persist in practice. In Barcelona, approximately 70% of employees are Russian speakers, yet there is little effort to foster an inclusive environment for those who do not speak Russian. While diversity can be a valuable asset, the absence of a cohesive language and culture policy across the organization hinders collaboration and limits career growth opportunities for non-Russian-speaking staff

Pros

The product is an industry leader, making it exciting to work on. The teams are filled with incredibly smart, creative, and collaborative people. Benefits and remote flexibility are solid, and there are good opportunities to learn SEO and digital marketing deeply.

Cons

The work culture can occasionally lean toward working harder than playing hard especially as the company scales.
