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.

Advice to Management

Stop squeezing your workforce
