Pros

Let's compare apples to apples... It means that I'm doing an evaluation using a scale for Service Companies which is neither good nor bad - it is just an attend from my side to give a fair review. Based on my experience which includes both an employment with Grid Dynamics and being a customer for different services companies during my employment outside of Grid Dynamics I would say the following: -Technical Expertise of Grid Dynamics is a way ahead of any other companies I've ever seen... These guys are really strong technically comparing with any other services company I had a deal with. From an employee point of view, it means that you will definitely have excellent colleagues - they are strong, reliable and experienced. Most of them are really nice guys. -Most of the projects give you an opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies. For sure some projects can be tedious, but if you look around there are a lot of opportunities most of the time, even if you have to work with some kind of boring things in the beginning. -The current C-level team and most of VPs in GD are great (BTW, in the past GD had many great execs as well). -The company is relatively small - it obviously has its own benefits. You know most of the people and can easily get attention from executive level if you need help for better delivery. They were acquired, but it happened after my leaving, so have no idea what is the impact. -I believe that acquisition will bring a lot of new opportunities on Chinese market which is great. -Compensation in GD is much better than in any other service company. For those in US office who complains, I suggest making a fair comparison. -A lot of correct and effective moves as the company is growing. -Personally, I'm very thankful to Grid Dynamics as they gave me great experience, a lot of opportunities and a really good chance to go ahead with my career. On top of that, I met a lot of great people there and some of them became my good friends.

Cons

-In some very rare cases, loyalty means more than experience and skills. At the same time, may be it is good for business in certain circumstances.

Pros

Good salary for Russian Federation.

Cons

Not professional management, no opportunities to grow. They are going to fool you if you would like to relocate to US. 2 - 3 times lower salary than in others US companies. Just a body shop. Usually GD picks some projects up from previous vendors, which did a not good job, and you will have to have a deal with all this bad code.

Pros

My colleagues are the smartest people. You can always find a person who knows everything about something that you need. There is a community of practice that even make classes and provides materials to learn. Many different modern technologies from Solr, Hadoop to Hybris. My first project was performance test tool which was developed inside the company for the company itself. And now I am working in a search team. A big amount of technologies gives you an opportunity to learn new things, and find projects/tools that you really like. You have a flexible time schedule as long as you have come to an agreement with your manager or client and you can work from home when you need. The Pleasant and comfortable atmosphere in the office. You can hear funny jokes in the corridor. You can experience a lot of such activities in the office apart from work itself as sports events, quiz games, English classes. Trips to US and Poland are. I have been to sunny California 3 times, and it was a fantastic experience from both cultural and professional sides. I have had a chance to try new roles in the project, develop communication skills. Besides, it is a great chance to be a tourist while on business trip and spend a great time with your colleagues (team building).

Cons

As everywhere there are some drawbacks such as small parking in Saint-Petersburg and no permanent place for table tennis :)
