This is awesome, I was considering applying to vk.com because they seem to be a very good and open house based in St. Petersburg.

I know it's where Snowden went to work too, and they're the ones behind Telegram.

it's interesting how much I've heard about them since I started dating a Russian girl... but, yes, good things.

Yes, it's a beautiful building in the downtown of St.-Petersburg

Interestingly, it was built by Singer Corporation

and essentially became the first business center in Russia [sic!] as lower floors were for Singer show rooms and the higher floors were rented out for other companies. Nowadays lower floors are housing the central book store («Дом Книги»). At the time it was built, its architecture was considered outlandish, but now it's one of the staples of St.-Petersburg.
