Pros

- Good people around, motivates to grow - Relaxed atmosphere, nice office - Little paperwork and little bureaucracy (most of the documents needed are prepared automatically by intranet services) - More or less free schedule on some positions as long as you get your stuff done. You can work from home some days a week if your boss is okay with that.

Cons

- The salaries are not indexed, only if you become more skilled and do more complex stuff - Some working tools could be better documented - Not exactly Yandex problem, but recent Internet laws may hurt company business and worsen the its situation
