Pros: Friendly colleagues, stable company. Nothing else.
Cons: Your previous experience goes null, and your Yandex experience is useless for other companies. The proprietary version of C++ means no STL at all. You have to deliver solved tasks from the second week.
Bad code quality. No dynamic polymorphism, no static polymorphism, just SWITCH/CASE and IF statements. Can you imagine? :)
Inconvenient setup: a 15-16" laptop and just one 24" display, whereas the industry standard is at least two displays.
Work/life balance is heavily shifted towards work.
The salary is on the lower end.
