Pros

work life balance is OK.

Cons

1.Even after working hard ,day in day out, weeks in weeks out, year in year out your promotion will be stopped because you sometimes failed to attend daily stand up meetings. 2.A lot of work as a junior resource. I worked in a project where there were around 20 QA members and 15 Dev members and a single automation resource(me). I automated 9 different applications by myself and maintained them on regular basis since 2 years and still I was unable to meet the expectations of my manager for promotion. Work burden is not an issue, the issue is not receiving appreciation or fruit for your hard work. 3.Terrible job security. you don't know when you'll get a call or mail from HR saying you to resign on the same day.

Pros

Interesting projects, high tech standards and internal knowledge sharing, and a rich representation of all possible Slavic accents.

Cons

Engineering-first culture results in obnoxiously fragmented internal tech platforms because errybody wants to build it themselves. Not a big deal, just engineers doing what engineers will do.
