Pros

There are some opportunities to switch between different project after a year or two, so that you could learn new stuff and make your career path more attractive. Most valuable and the happiest people in this company are middle engineers: the company sells them as seniors, their salary is average on the market, less bureaucracy. Benefits are average, but nice.

Cons

If you are a senior engineer, then you are under risk: as the most of the projects are related to enterprise legacy monsters, you will have to deal with a lot of unnecessary tasks, lots of bureaucracy, lots of useless meetings, documents and overtiming. Otherwise you will be not profitable to the company and they would hire a jun/mid guy instead of you. If you are junior, then you are under risk: be ready that nobody will take care of you, because all the senior guys will be super busy. Be ready that your manager doesn't have any plan for you. Be ready to work and learn by your self. Be ready that your salary will grow super slowly. If you are a delivery manager: God bless you. Besides all of that, the company culture is very poor. Racial and gender discrimination takes place very often, may not be explicitly, but in meeting rooms or kitchen.

Pros

- In general, one has opportunities with work with and learn from high level experts (engineers, architects, SMEs) in areas of AI, data science, big data, search, automation QE, CI/CD. It doesn't mean that it will work in each and every case, but in general you have this opportunity. - In general, one has enough opportunities to work for different customers, business domains, different teams and change the career profile and specialization. - A lot and not the worst relocation opportunities in comparison to other competitors.

Cons

- All the same cons as for any other service/outsourcing company, i.e. you will have a lot of restrictions while working for customers (product companies). If you're more interested in product development and impact product/strategy decision making then service/outsourcing company hardly can satisfy your ambitious. - Internal company structure is changed every 1-1,5 on average. - Company management managed to hire or assign very weird and insufficient people to Director and Senior Manager roles in all departments (Delivery, Engineering, Location, Sales, Marketing, HR, etc.). In all corners of all locations their harmful impact and low performance are being discussed; great or just good enough employees are leaving the company because of being supervised by/working with these "guys".
