Pros

fast paced environment, some smart people, you can learn know how about the search Giant, if in luck you can develop your core skills and add some lines to your CV.

Cons

hard to believe (here) but some overseas pay was being done through e wallets meaning no tax. US office and its president is a joke, Cyprus is a gimmick. agile is one way only. everything and all is decided in Russia by a handful of people, maybe just one - Oleg is charismatic and convincing but actually deceiving, after leaving I learned about his scouts looking to sell the business in the US. high turnover hinders efficient continuity. its all kinda risky to bet your career

Very thorough onboarding and enablement process. Great culture and people. Excellent company & team communication.

Cons

There's a lot to learn, which isn't a con - but something good to know.

Pros

None, get ready to be micro managed and have unobtainable quotas.

Cons

Management is clueless on how to run a channel program. US team is run like a college frat with condescending management. No official PIP, they will invite you to a meeting with HR and fire you.
