Pros

1) Really good team, nice team events. 2) Good compensation package & social benefits 3) Nice office in Moscow

Cons

Company lacks real strategy. Major product Parallels Desktop is at end of it's life cycle, and company struggles to find "next big thing" and team feels it, as the effect the major part of the employees is unmotivated. Company is founded by developers and it is too much developer focused, all other departments are the "people of the second kind"
