Cons
Only one:
New office in SPB, Russia, is not very comportable
Location at Petrogradskaya embankment - no metro station beside, you need to take tram/bus from the Petrogradskaya/Vyborgskaya sides, nearest metro stations
In addition, one of the floors in new SPB office does not look like "IT company" stye at all :) it used to be some serious office for serios business, and no cosmetic re-design was made :)
