IT Support - Anonymous employee Avito Employee Review

- Culture - People - Challenging tasks

Because of matrix structure sometimes it is difficult to find the real responsible for the sphere/task

- People are usually nice and well-coming. - Some units/teams are highly professional, especially verticals like Real Estate and Auto. - Data-informed culture, many cool research reports can be found on Confluence. - Great analysts and engineers who are genuinely interested in the product. - High salary.

- Some units/teams are shockingly weak. No strategy, research, modern product frameworks — just data manipulation to match the OKRs. - A/B tests are often an excuse for bad design decisions. - Waiting for months to ship anything. A lot of legacy which kills UX solutions. - Design is more like an optional layer and not a strategic partner. - Demotivated designers in some units. The salary is probably the best on the Russian market, so people stay no matter whether they like the job. - Non-transparency of the design management decisions. Too much politics. - Interview promises don't match the reality. You might join the company for a new innovative project, but will find out in the first weeks that they actually were looking for a strong professional to fix a problematic team. No innovation, just eternal syncs and lack of expertise and resources.
