Yandex

Yandex is fantastic. Exciting projects, the most competent people, pleasant salaries, and bonuses.

It's an excellent place to grow professionally, gain FAANG-level experience, and build valuable connections. To combat burnout, there's a fantastic opportunity to switch teams.

Yandex is a huge company, so you'll always find an interesting role in an exciting project.

Internally, Yandex is very democratic and liberal, with minimal corporate hierarchy and bureaucracy. As much as possible, it operates on autonomy and the employees' own interests.

Translate into Russian. Once upon a time, Yandex was a global company capable of conquering world markets against the most powerful players. Now, it is confined within Russia, and that, in itself, is a significant fatal drawback. Yandex used to be a rocket engine that allowed you to reach FAANG. However, due to the current crisis, this crucial advantage no longer holds true.
