Process
The interview process was generally well-structured and professional. Communication throughout the process was clear, and the interviewers were polite and respectful. The technical discussions were relevant to the iOS Software Engineer role and provided a good opportunity to discuss both technical knowledge and practical experience.
However, the overall process felt somewhat lengthy due to the number of interview rounds. One area that could be improved is:
- Reducing the number of interview stages
- Providing more clarity about the purpose and expectations of each round in advance
- More timely feedback after the interviews would also improve the overall candidate experience.
Overall, I appreciate the time and effort invested by the interview team and found the process to be professional and informative.

- 4.0Great culture but high expectations and workload vary by teamSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeTallinnOctober 21, 2026Pros: Cool culture. Highly skilled people to work with. Nice perks and parties.Cons: It depends on the team you are in. Some teams and managers have very high expectations and a very high workload. You would see people working late almost every day.
- 3.0Innovative environment, but some management is toxicSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeTallinnAugust 5, 2026Pros: It is a unicorn with a lot of resources and a lot of talent. It disrupted multiple businesses.Cons: If you are unlucky with your manager or lead, it will be a miserable experience. Unfortunately, there are many managers of this kind. They undermine you no matter how hard you work and how successfully you deliver. They will find things that were not as successful and punish you for them hard while totally not seeing successful deliveries. But if they like you, you can pretty much get away with anything. P.S. Many teams have meetings in Russian. They have lots of people from Yandex.
