I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yandex (Moscow, Moskva) in Mar 2021
Interview
There were 1 theoretical and 2 algorithmic tasks to test my knowledge of the programming language (C++).
Whole interview took 1 hour.
The interviewer was friendly and polite.
He corrected me in code, where I were wrong.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Theoretical task was to sum 20 float numbers with maxim precision.
During the interview, I was asked to solve two algorithmic problems similar to LeetCode challenges. The first was a relatively easy two-pointers problem, while the second focused on calculating the median using a sliding window approach.

Question 1
They specifically asked me to explain the time complexity of my solutions, making sure I could analyze the efficiency of both the two-pointers problem and the sliding window median approach.

Interview
Test tasks on their website for knowledge of algorithms and data structures. After passing the stage with test tasks, an interview follows with the solution of two algorithmic problems, after which two more interviews are held with the development teams
