Pros

- Flexibility - Work-life balance - Processes and overall organization - Nice people

Cons

- Russian language still existing in some docs and pieces of code is a challenge - Sometimes hard to communicate with Russian speakers that might struggle still with English (but everyone shows they are truly trying to improve) - Team names are a bit unusual and confusing (would prefer descriptive names or names with some hint/connection to what the team does)
