Pros
- A lot of experienced developers to learn from. - Learning program for junior developers. - Modern office on Zastavskaya st. - Defined process for a title change. - You can switch project after some time. - Flexible working hours (although depends on a project). - Relocation possibility. - Saint-Petersburg's office is growing rapidly so there are a lot of career opportunities.
Kontras
- A lot of legacy code and support projects. Only a few projects are working with newer technologies. - Very unclear perquisites for salary re-negotiation besides getting a new title. The easiest way to raise your salary is to bring an offer from competitive company and get an counteroffer. - There is a mentoring program for middle+ devs but it's pretty basic and company cut it's financing last year. It's hard to expand your technical knowledge and try new technologies on practice beyond what's used on your project. - Bonuses depends on account you're working on, not on quality of your work. If you're working on a small support project you won't get bonus or it'll be laughable (not that bonuses are big to begin with).
