Cutting-edge technology company, big name, and great opportunities for professional growth and self-development. Good social package, professional colleagues, minimum bureaucracy inside, flexible schedule, and management.
Too much inside tools makes you less competitive. After: bad work processes, overtime stimulation, bad work-life balance, toxic atmosphere, salary below market, too many interview stages, "undercover games", questionable fairness in performance evaluation.
Works on transparency of processes, salary levels, and professional culture.
Standard Yandex hiring process: * HR interview * 3 online coding sessions * System design interview I failed the last coding session. As I remember, you have to solve 2 tasks. I solved only one.
Several interviews are conducted. During these, you need to solve 1-2 tasks, explaining your thoughts and actions. The outcome of the interview depends very much on the interviewer and their mood.
Asked two questions to two pointers, solved both problems within 40 minutes. Asked some questions about the Python language. Then we just talked. Then the next interview had two problems: geometry and DFS finding a path in a graph.
