      Nice start for a beginner, a dead end for a professional

      Pros

      1) A well-known brand 2) A lot of skilled professionals (but it depends on the department) 3) An OK work/life balance (but it's totally up to you!) 4) If you're a novice, Parallels is a good opportunity to see how serious IT companies do their business with a decent amount of bureaucracy and learn a lot about processes

      Cons

      1) A lot of managers can't stand if you dispute their decisions, even if they are obviously wrong 2) Salary depends a lot on your relationships with your manager - you might get extra bonuses or you might permanently stay underpaid 3) Coworkers mostly are nice people, but if you are an introvert it will be hard for you to do your jobs as a lot of tasks require social communication 4) Company is very caution about decisions and stick to outdated technologies and processes - you won't learn a lot of new technologies here 5) Considering a large amount of offices, it's almost impossible to get a relocation 6) Company is not multicultural, as all offices are isolated from each other

      Pros

      Great health benefits, 401k match, great work/life balance, and chance to grow in an exciting field. They have set it up to attract top tech-talent and it shows, each new employee brings amazing skillsets to the team. New office location in downtown Bellevue is very nice as well.

      Cons

      Still in midst of large changes including split of 2 other companies - Plesk and Virtuozzo. Can be chaotic.
