      Pros

      - Encourages creativity and innovation: Its like a open football field, you can kick the ball in any direction, how much ever hard you like, to achieve your desired goals . At Kaspersky Lab, we are encouraged to develop your own formula for success - Responsible freedom: At Kaspersky Lab, we are given both responsibility and freedom, hence workforce is more committed to achieve greater and better results within limited time and resources - The company is transparent, adaptive and agile - Lastly, the infectious charisma of our leader, Eugene Kaspersky, the world's foremost cyber-security expert who has made ''saving the world'' his mission, and has transmitted his boundless energy and passion in all employees to work towards the same mission in whatever area of work they are engaged in.

      Cons

      - Sad to see the company getting caught in political crossfire -- Trust the days when political decisions based on false media reports that are inspired by anonymous sources will pass, sooner than later As a private company, Kaspersky Lab does not have inappropriate ties to any government, including Russia. Kaspersky Lab continues to reiterate its willingness to work alongside authorities to address any concerns they may have about its products or services, and the company ardently believes a deeper examination of Kaspersky Lab will confirm that all allegations are unfounded

      HR Director APAC

      Thank you very much for a detailed and constructive review. We are proud of our people and their impact, so of course we do everything to help them to be creative, proactive, owning projects and really making a difference. This is the beauty of our company and, to my firm opinion, one of the biggest reasons of our success. Thank you for the advice as well. Our Global Transparency Initiative and new Transparency Centres are aimed at addressing these unfounded allegations, as well as the changing geopolitical landscape. We are moving some of the most critical R&D components to Switzerland, opening up the source code and updates for independent third party reviews, and will shortly open our first transparency centre in Zurich – with more to come in Asia and North America. We have also announced the most comprehensive bug-bounty programme in the industry, and are working with Big4 Audit firm, which is currently reviewing our software development practice against the highest industry standards. Put together, this is fundamental change of how the company and its products work and we are the first cybersecurity company to do so. We sincerely encourage you to be part of this change and share your insights, your ideas and your concerns with us.

      Thank you so much for your positive review. Employee wellness is one of the most important thing for us. As you obviously know we're cyber-security company, and being risk-averse is one of our core competencies. It's not that we don't trust our employees, we do trust them. However, security and safety are in our DNA, and unfortunately you can notice it in our compliance system and policies. - Alena Reva
