The interviewer was prepared, the questions were open. The complexity of the tasks was selected for me. The whole process was shorthand, within 30 minutes I was given a detailed report on the interview process, about my strengths and weaknesses.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
General knowledge (data structures, algorithms)
Javascript (closures, event loop)
You need to go through five technical interview stages:
Livecoding
Algometric interview
Experience check
Systems design
Introduction to possible teams
Between stages there is usually a week's pause and a long wait for feedback
when you think you haven't passed yet you can get positive feedback
First screening internet is very basic - just spoke about my experience in a call
First and second technical interview was video call + screen sharing + code writing in the special Yandex environment (you can’t run JS code only write it)
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
First technical interview were with not hard but tricky questions about JS: like “this”, type conversion, etc
Second was a bit harder: setTimeout, callbacks, call / bind / apply, etc
Probably the next one should contain some algorithmic tasks
Was not awful. For sure is better than it was back then, but still too abstract and far from real-world tasks. Yandex is famous for his algorithmic approach to an interview and I see they are trying to get rid of this label.
