Yandex

You need to go through five technical interview stages: * Live coding * Algorithmic interview * Experience check * Systems design * Introduction to possible teams Between stages, there is usually a week's pause and a long wait for feedbac

There were about four or five interviews: * Talk with HR * Some code interviews at an ascended level of difficulty * Final interview with the project manager and team After all of that, they told me I wasn't experienced enough for this role.

It was not awful. For sure, it is better than it was back then, but still too abstract and far from real-world tasks. Yandex is famous for its algorithmic approach to interviews, and I see they are trying to get rid of this label.
