Pros

I've worked at Yandex for almost 3 years. The company has a great office in Moscow, free lunches, health insurance, mortgage, free cookies and so on. But the most incredable part of working in this company was people around.

Cons

– Technologies that company use for development was kinda old or created and used only inside of this company. – sometimes political games took place – reviews
