Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
The interview process was well organised, transparent, and respectful throughout. The interview process consisted of four stages:
- A live coding interview
- A code review interview
- A system design interview
- A team fit interview with the engineering manager
The interviewers were professional and friendly throughout. Communication from the recruiter was clear and timely at every stage. I had a positive experience overall and received an offer at the end of the process.
Questions
- Live coding was mainly about time and space complexity explanations and how to make it more efficient.
- Reviewing already written code with engineering standards.
- Monitoring tool designing.

Innovative environment, but some management is toxic

Pros: 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.
