Did they have Russian developers and let them go? Or do you mean the ownership has changed?

- zorgmonkey 2y agoMy understanding is they relocated the developers who were in Russia
- lolinder 2y agoCorrect, though they also lost some who were not willing to relocate.
- einpoklum 2y agoThat's really too bad, and not fair to the Russian developers. More 'collateral damage' from the NATO-Russia conflict.
- lolinder 2y agoYeah, it sucks that Putin decided to invade a sovereign nation that was home to a bunch of JetBrains employees. His war has turned the world upside down in a lot of ways, and I really do feel for the Russians and Ukrainians who he's dragged down with him. I have coworkers who regularly have to take shelter from his bombing campaigns.
- exceptione 2y agoUkraine is not part of Nato, but that would have been a good way to avoid 'conflict'.
- wiseowise 2y ago> More 'collateral damage' from the NATO-Russia conflict. What has NATO to do with Russian invasion of Ukraine?
- int_19h 2y agoMany tech companies that had large dev teams in Russia have mostly relocated them. Acronis is another example of a company that was originally entirely Russian that is out of the market completely, and from what I heard, well over 90% of the devs relocated. It will be very interesting to see the effects of that brain drain long term.
