Pros

I am happy that I work for a company Parallels, there are several reasons: PEOPLE! all the staff with whom I have met very helpful, friendly, empathetic and willing to help you with any question! This incredible professionals who invents almost spaceships ;) at the same time do not lose their sense of humor, respect each other, willing to listen to opinions and ideas of each other. I was very lucky with the leader, who produced several meetings in my first day, I was able to meet with the team, the company, also she wrote me the tasks that I need to do the first time, has provided me with all the tools I needed for the job. And all this in a pleasant and positive working environment.

Cons

a lot of information for the study - for some it's a minus, but the big plus for me!

Pros

Thankfully not overly matrixed. Pay/benefits is better than most organizations of this size. Work/life balance fairly balanced with no expectation of ongoing weekend work.

Cons

Two cultures (Russian/US) with Russian culture favored. Leadership vision/direction/mandate doesn't filter down. Management is top heavy - the amount of VP's, Directors and Managers is extraordinary. Company is reactive vs. proactive in strategy.
