Toxic and Discriminatory

Pros

None - this company is absolutely terrible.

Cons

Leadership concerned more with how things 'look' then how things actually are. Leaders will tell clients that the company can deliver solutions that it does not have and then try and scramble to make thins up. There is so much paranoia and delusion because the company cannot bring in business. They can't bring in new business because Ukraine runs delivery and no matter what you tell them about how people at large US companies behave, they do not care. They care about delivering solutions they want to make, not solutions that the customer wants. Making matters worse there is a clear pattern of discrimination against women and minorities. If you say this to HR they will retaliate and intimidate you. This place is filled with liars, no HR, and their entire legal team is based in Ukraine. Just an awful place to work on so many levels.

Pros

Steady work even if do nothing.

Cons

Greedy cunning liars. They made me an offer for a senior position but at the first day I was surprised to know that my position was middle. They offered me to prove that I am a senior and in such a case they would promote me. But a procedure was overfilling: 3 different stages, several month each and finally I should pass external certification because according to their policies senior position is allowed only for certified person. As a result I would get (according to a policy) no more than +10% gross.

Pros

Technical expertise, hard working delivery teams, good pay, visits to Eastern Europe were great

Cons

Leadership is unimpressive (subpar experience, subpar US business connections, subpar capabilities) and ultra reactive to short term trends creating constant chaos, very silo'd so you're reliant on your SVP to effectively communicate things to senior leadership, super cheap and short sighted (declined certain expenses and trade shows that should have been no-brainers), and just overall a total mess. Between accepting my offer and on-boarding, they reneged on several promises they had made to me (unfortunately I did not have them in writing), and they continued to be inconsistent throughout my tenure.
