Kontras
I'm really trying my best to stay objective here. The company is in a lot of trouble. HR-wise: Grown in a fenced workforce market of Rostov-on-Don, Russia, the company severely lacks the muscle to compete with employers even by Russian standards. Product-wise: The company is losing its traction. Competitor advances are often downplayed and dismissed, and the main competitive advantage is lost as the bar rises from being "just" the web-based terminal. Generally: - Do not trust the overall rating here: it's influenced by product reviews, not employees - Near-government-level bureaucracy - Micromanagement as a company's internal motto - Expectation for employees to clock in long hours because management doesn't know where to move forward and hopes you'll propel the company by working to the bone - The company is dragging its feet with AI and cutting-edge tech while stuck in the IPO-prep limbo for years on end - Fixation on the office presence for regular employees - Antiquated internal management structure: the company is effectively split in half between "frontend" and "backend", communications are scarce, and heavily centralized - Org silos are so bad that blame-shifting is your daily reality - Despite the global presence of the brand, the company is predominantly Russian-speaking in its product and tech departments, East European style managed. You'd better know how to dance ballet. OK, I lost it, and better cut it here. Don't try it for yourself. You'll regret it one way or another.
