Yandex Software Developer interview questions

1. Interview with recruiter. Got asked basic question about my job expectations. Got asked 3 easy technical questions, this was unexpected. Later was told that this was intentional, it was meant to be a surprise. 2. 3 algorithmic interviews, practically the same. Got asked one easy and one medium coding question. On the third one I tackled medium fairly quickly and so they gave me another medium one. 3. Final interviews with teams that were interested in my application. I got three teams and chose one of them. I heard that there's also an option to work in each team for a couple of weeks to get a hands-on experience and decide after that. I wasn't offered that. 4. Final "interview" with recruiter when they present an offer to you. My position wasn't senior enough to have a architectural section, but it is a thing.

1 HR call, 2 standard coding DSA rounds and 1-hour talk with teamlead about my experience, past projects' architecture (public API maintenance, microservices, etc.) and how web works (frow DNS to sockets)
