Pros

- Decent pay if you are on the business side - Incredible growth path (someone is doing something right - find engineers at low price from eastern eu STEM universities and bring them on L1) - Acquihire senior talent through M&A - Many are there for experience, not for the long haul

Cons

- Seniormost leadership runs like a family business of east europeans - Incredible nepotism across all senior levels - Achieves analyst company ratings through shady deals - Culture is fake: they try to act as cool, liberal, forward facing but does nothing than a green wash on all fronts - Strong affiliations with countries ruled by dictators - though publicly they appear as a US HQ publicly listed company

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.
