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.
The interview had several sections over several days: * Coding: No whiteboard, laptop with IDE instead. * Algorithms questions and data structures: This part was done with handwriting. * Architecture: This section involved handwriting. * Fin
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.
