Mayra Felix, a strategic program manager for the Americas with Google's Global Account Management team, works in the company's California headquarters.

She started her career at Google in 2013 as a regional account manager, and prior to that moved to the US from Ecuador to attend Georgetown University.

Labor laws and labor rights in Russia
Employment law in Russia is enshrined in the 2002 Russian Labor Code. Employment contracts should be in writing. The Russian Labor Code states that there are three main types of contract:

Employment Contract with Free Text – most current contract with no exact term of validity, but it does contain the condition of termination;
A definite-time employment contract – the validity of the contract is up to five years and is only made when a temporary employee is offered a permanent contract;
A seasonal work contract which is valid for only two months.
The common working week in Russia is 40 hours and employees should work a maximum of 50 hours a week. Full-time workers are entitled to a minimum of 28 days’ annual leave. In addition to this, there are also a number of public holidays in Russia.

Notice periods for termination of a contract in Russia vary according to reasons for termination. They range from no notice at all to two months (in cases such as redundancies or company liquidation). Employees usually have to give at least two weeks’ notice if they wish to quit.

Russian work culture
Russian companies tend to be hierarchical and bureaucratic, with a plethora of rules and regulations in place that can be explained by the country’s communist past. Because of this, business negotiations can take a long time to sort out. However, as the Russian economy has gradually opened up since the early nineties, this has started to change.
