I had failed second of three algorithmic sections. To my knowledge there should have been three algorithmic sections and then interviews with teams. Overall the experience was pleasant and not stressful.
The initial tech call consisted of a single problem solving, and the problem seemed not real for any kind of position, pure theoretical algorithm. Not that I don't like those, but if you're supposed to write APIs, not clear why this field is not touched upon at all, and only red-black trees are a subject of interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some deep details about how to optimise algorithm using tree, cannot recall correctly
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yandex (Moskau, ) in Jul 2024
Interview
HR interview went well. Then I had 3 technical interviews which were typical leetcode algorithm interviews. After all I had a final interview, where I met my current team lead. We talked about my responsibilities, product and etc.
