Pros

It's probably most interesting innovative it-company in Russia. So many interesting people, who know what they do. Cool atmosphere and working conditions.

Cons

At Yandex we work together as a team and communicate freely. Most staff members work in spacious, open-plan offices, but they don’t have to stay at their desks – they can pick up their notebook computers and take their work anywhere. People with notebooks can be seen working on sofas in the hallways, in the cafeteria, in meeting rooms, even nestled in comfy beanbags.
