Pros

- Good office - Stable payment - Some colleagues are great

Cons

- No biology, it is mainly data management now - A lot of meetings, if you like to spend all day in meeting - you should work here (your position doesn't matter) - Managers can estimate and provide the deadlines to the customer without consulting developers - Once pro year the company change strategy (maybe it's plus if you don't like to finish anything) - An employee can be moved from one project to an another project suddenly, without any hints - It is more an outsourcing company than a product company - Timesheet: always ask you to complete, but doesn't matter what you put there -If you have important task, it's possible that a lot of managers will ping you every hour - Remote work is possible, but bosses like that you to be in the office, so it's easier to control you - Scrum master isn't a role, it's a separate position, for a small company there are two Scrum masters

Pros

Some colleagues are wonderful people. They were the ones holding everything together.​​​​​

Cons

At first, the experience was excellent — there was a wonderful team, and despite all the difficulties, there was a sense of support and unity. After major changes, everything started falling apart. Management was weak, decisions were strange, and people didn’t feel safe or secure. Laying off many great people caused an outpouring of outrage. The way the layoffs were handled was complete trash. The CEO’s wife is incompetent but makes many important decisions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pros

Some of the colleagues are nice. Remote working available.

Cons

Pay is much lower than industry standard No career progression opportunities or training Very few customers so business reliant on renewals. Cancellation of one or two may put in jeopardy (again). Genuine lack of care in staff wellbeing. Solution to most problems seems to be redundancy. Lack of willingness to try new approaches - or even industry standard ones! Read the reviews (many positive ones are “encouraged” to try and boost star ratings - It’s the COO’s way or nothing. Constant shifts in direction according to customer whims or latest trendy buzzword rather than focus on actual strengths. Very Russian centric culture - if you’re not Russian or don’t speak Russian don’t expect to feel anything other than secondary citizen.
