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.

The take-home test and live tech interview were part of the selection process. It went okay; the interviewers were friendly. I was also invited to take a culture fit interview.

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.
