Pros

Yandex has a very high upward mobility culture. If you are ambitious and are willing to work hard, it is very easy to become a dev lead / dev manager. Compensation is pretty good by the Russian standards, the top levels make about the same as their Bay area counterparts.

Cons

Way too many PMs! They go by different names (Project Managers, Product Managers, Analysts, etc.), the overall ratio is like 2 devs per 1 PM - unheard of.

Pros

Amazing office, very professional peoples around, friendly atmosphere. Nearly median market salaries. Bonuses time to time. Very good social benefits. And peoples around, but i already mentioned that.

Cons

Nearly zero chance to have a carrier there. Within last few years all possible mid to top level position were stolen by peoples hired from outside a company. Top managers nearly don't think about employees needs and situations. Lot's of changes happens since IPO.
