Yandex reviews about "colleague"

Compensation are low for broking work/life balance

- to get any grade/salary raise you really need to slave away and it's still not guaranteed - some random aspect during review; your achievements are measured only in comparison to your colleagues within same business unit; this results in the situation when in one team you can do almost nothing and get a good bonus whereas in other team working really hard is still not enough

fast pace, career growth can be uneven, performance reviews may feel subjective

- Depends heavily upon the team - Some tech leads are maniacs without any work/life balance

- Slow salary growth. Compensation did not keep pace with my career progression and new responsibilities. - Frequent internal changes. The company often shifts goals and priorities, which creates uncertainty. - Corporate politics. There are noticeable internal power plays and frequent team reshuffles. - Limited remote flexibility. Although Yandex claims to support international remote work, in practice there seem to be quiet layoffs of employees based outside Russia.

- too much bureaucracy - many overlapping zones of responsibility - salary almost doesn't grow when inside the company
