Interview is not that hard. Some of the smartest folks to work with, although it varies from team to team. Good work-life balance for me (close to Search dept). Not that good in other parts of the company. Fantastic in-office benefits. Relocation from Russia to Belgrade, Serbia. Compensation is competitive for Serbia. Tech stack feels very modern (again, on my project).
- Tough work-life balance in some parts of the company.
- As of 2023, there are more and more low-skill developers in the company, unfortunately.
- Most of the backend infrastructure is written by Yandex (YT, YDB, etc.), so it feels like working in a bubble a bit.
