Pros

The company is changing a lot, and you will constantly need to keep up with the work in order to contribute. For me, that was a good thing, as I wanted to learn and continue improving within the company.

Cons

The first few months can be confusing. I believe the product training could be better organized, and there are areas that need improvement.

Pros

Great working conditions Cool workmates Good benefits Good compensation (it could be even better with stock) Management care about employees There are plenty of autonomy and opportunities to do things from scratch. Unlimited PTO

Cons

The company works in division structures, so from one to other the situations are completely different. It is a majority of Russian speaker collegues (very nice and welcoming) but sometimes you feel a bit "alone"
