Perfect place to start your way

Software Engineer (Current Employee)
Moscow (Russia)

I have been working at Yandex full-time for more than a year

ProsGood people, good products, free work time planning, good equipment with hardware and software. Mainly good service plans.

ConsSometimes (subjectively) it is difficult to make people understand what is good and what is wrong from the user point of view. Management does their plans to the detriment of the interests of the users.

Advice to Senior ManagementLook around, analyze current situation and see what things do really suck.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
