Pros

Salary is acceptable but the rest is not so good.

Cons

Lack of motivation, very bad middle and top management. Some of managers don't respect employees, intimidate them and stifle initiative. Lots of bright people left the company due to all those things.

Pros

1) They give the salary you want 2) You can move to very different project, if you want so: search engine, biggest mail service, social network, content projects , etc. 3) This is the biggest internet company in Europe, so if you want to do something big....

Cons

1) this is PM-led company, contrary to google, facebook and many others, who are led by engineers. So if you want to do *right things* - it's not a place for you. You will be busy making a tons of useless features, because your PM seen them somewhere and your project definitely needs them. How will this feature improve your service? "It's a business task, you don't understand it, please implement" 2) majority of managers are totally incompetent - they have no vision, no planning, no measuring. 3) they are promoting nerds to team leaders. Have you ever had nervous and somehow aggressive genius as a boss?
