Pros

An interesting project, highly educated people and true professionals, great benefits and salary.

Cons

Double standards: the company always talks about how it values its employees, but at the same time, it easily fires them during staff cuts or if they had to return to Ukraine (that's how I got fired, simply because the company did not want to take risks, despite the fact that I devoted four years of my life to this company). Career growth: it is very difficult to move up the career ladder, there is a lot of competition and a constant internal struggle for promotions. If initially you did not agree on good wage conditions, then it will be very difficult to change anything and get an increase.

Pros

- I was able to switch to a team delivering products of very high impact - ability to take ownership quickly (I led my first project 3 months in) - very talented team - few meetings

Cons

- All remote so I was not able to build relationships with nearly any of my colleagues, and none from other departments - Having been a senior before, I did not appreciate that I was put in the mid level bucket, and although I took senior level responsibilities (onboarded team, architecture planning, coaching, hiring, company wide presentations) I was not given a timeline towards a potential promotion back to the senior level.
