      Pros

      There are many really brilliant engineers, the culture is also very open and encourages communication and knowledge sharing across groups and departments.

      Cons

      Diluted company mission, bad management is abound, not really an engineering company, bad product management can be demotivating. Decision making processes depend highly on managers' personal charisma, much less so on real data. There is also a kind of anarchy in engineering which leads to much effort duplication (each group developing their own solution for a seemingly common problem), lack of common infrastructure and difficulties in interoperability.

      One of the best russian employers

      Pros

      - great people - great projects (if you are lucky) - great opportunities (if you are lucky and smart and good at networking and self pr) - great atmosphere - great experience

      Cons

      There is some quite unusual corporate culture (it's hard to describe but not everyone could fit in easily). There is a lot of politics. Several years ago Yandex was a great startup but now it is a big corporation who wants to be a startup (actually it's not so bad to be a corporation). Also it is kinda slow. If you want to do things fast you should join startup.
