Pros
- lots of travel. - great opportunity to improve on your russian languages skills. about 60% of staff is russian. sometimes the error messagages pop up in russian, which is kinda cute - lots of time spent doing admin (travel bookings, helping write English, justifying why you earned a commission). - Not much interaction with colleagues - most people work from home. - Became the construction SME there, which was cool. - constant inbound flow of new tablet PCs to play with. not sure what happens to them, but we always tested something - lots of needs to fix client issues. great when working in a support function. it keeps you busy
Cons
- 3 industry outsiders head up the company. They give you different answers to the same questions - high staff turnover, 40% of US staff in early 2011 - little revenue / no communication means every Q = uncertainty - no share participation - hello techworld - they require heavy contract signing (Non Comp.; Non Disc; Business practice) it makes you wonder what they are trying to hide - well below market standards on pay and package :( + have a tendency to role your salary into a commission / bonus - ownership and management structure is a big ?. seems to be Russian owned. SO much for US construction jobs
