Pros

It is a unicorn with a lot of resources and a lot of talent. It disrupted multiple businesses.

Cons

If you are unlucky with your manager or lead, it will be a miserable experience.

Unfortunately, there are many managers of this kind. They undermine you no matter how hard you work and how successfully you deliver. They will find things that were not as successful and punish you for them hard while totally not seeing successful deliveries. But if they like you, you can pretty much get away with anything.

P.S. Many teams have meetings in Russian. They have lots of people from Yandex.
