They pay top-of-market salaries. Bonuses couple of times per year. Great product.
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.
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.
The interview was quite challenging, but it provided a great opportunity to demonstrate my problem-solving skills. The live coding session was particularly engaging, allowing me to showcase my approach to coding under pressure.
They use Miro for every step of their interview. It would be better to create a couple of boards to get familiar with it before the interview. Otherwise, everything was similar to other firms.
After applying, I received a message stating that each of the five stages would take 7-10 business days. Around a month after this, I received a HackerRank test, on which I did not score perfectly. After another month, I received a rejection email.
