Pros

- Work Culture: Relatively friendly and polite atmosphere compared to other Russian companies, with a flat hierarchy where skills matter more than titles - Benefits: Competitive salary, free meals, modern office, and perks like medical insurance and flexible schedules

Cons

- Work-Life Balance: High workloads and a review system that pressure to overwork and leading to burnout - Management Issues: Teams where I worked were with bureaucracy slowing processes, and the team leaders were on their minds - Market Specificity: Skills gained may be tied to Yandex’s custom tech stack, which not fully translate to other markets.
