Fake 5 Star reviews. Do yourself a favor and don’t take a job here

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people in the US office

Cons

Where do I begin? There are too many to count. - Very low and poor compensation compared to the market. Be prepared to be underpaid by 50% below the market wage. - US employees are constantly on edge from being overworked and underpaid. People were quitting left and right. Average tenure of US managers was around 8 months. - Russian leadership does not trust US employees. Russian employees treat their US counterparts very rudely and abrasively. - Russian micro managers will micromanage the HELL out of you. - No US developers. All developers are based out of the Russian office and are very bad at communication. - Be prepared to be talked down at by people from the Russian office. Be prepared to handle constant rude behaviour. - No upward mobility unless your friends with the people in the Russian office - Some product documentation is documented in Russian which is a huge pain.
