I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Yandex (Sankt Petersburg, ) in Jan 2020
Interview
I received a phone call from an HR manager from Yandex. She offered me to consider joining Yandex as a C++ software enginieer. We did not discussed an exact position at that time. The interview process consists of a sceen interview, 4 technincal interviews and a final interview. I had already tried to get through their interview process so she offered to skip the screen interview which consists of one task and did 4 technical interviews consisting of 2 tasks each.
All techninical interviews were carried out online. All of them were coding & algorithms interviews. There was no system design interview like in Google. There was no leadership interview either.
I successfully got through the 4 interviews and was invited for the final interview with Yandex Browser team. I was not interested in join the Yandex Browser team and rejected. Then I was offered to consider a position in another team and also was not interested in joining this particular team and rejected. They did not offer any other postions.
