Pros
  • Interesting projects
  • Very smart people
  • Low bureaucracy levels
Cons
  • Low salary compared to what you can get in the US/UK or even smaller IT companies in Moscow.
  • Perks are very limited compared to what you can get at Google or other big IT companies.
  • Relocation opportunities are only within Russia (e.g., it doesn't allow relocation to the Berlin office).
Advice to Management

You should spend more money on people who work for you. I know that conditions are very good compared to other companies in Russia, but if you want to compete with Global IT companies, there's still much work to do.
