Pros

They pay top-of-market salaries. Bonuses couple of times per year. Great product.

Cons

The company is not able to cope with hypergrowth. Middle management is still thinking on a level for a small Russian company and not able to grow professionally. As a result, all employees are suffering.

In the Russian office, they practice something like modern slavery – people work round the clock, a boss can call you to cancel your vacation, and you do what you are told without any chance to argue with it.

The core values that are posted on their website are not working. The real values that people embrace in the company are the opposite of what is being presented.

Company's headhunters will say whatever is needed to get you hired, and then you realize that you were misled after the first couple of weeks in the company.

There is no clear path to grow professionally.

Company culture is very toxic.

Advice to Management

The CEO should step down and allow the newly hired CEO to remove all managers and engineers who were working well enough in a slowly growing Russian startup, but not able to perform well enough in a fast-growing international company.
