Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Yandex (San Pietroburgo, ) nel mese di nov 2021
Colloquio
Everything was smooth, and was done online. It was consisted of 4 stages: live-coding screening, live-coding, systems design, finals (meeting different teamleads and choosing a team). It was pretty hard, but I hustled through.
Firstly I tried to apply to Java team, and my recruiter ensured me that there will be no java-specific questions, only general questions, language doesn't matter. It turned out it was not true, interviewer asked lots of things about java.
After this failed interview, I said to my recruiter "after I learn the language and can we try again", then learned go, and after that applied to go vacancies. There were no go-specific questions, and only general knowledge. This was very strange. I think that it's very dependent on the team, it's not standartized as it should be :) So there are my questions that I was asked:

After a positive HR screening, my technical interview was delayed by a week because the recruiter lost track of our initial conversation and tried to redo the screening. When the technical interview finally took place, I successfully solved both algorithmic tasks on time. Despite the smooth technical performance, the company chose to go with a different candidate.

1. One task related to Merge Sort Technique.
2. Another one was to move all 0s in array to the end of array using O(n) approach.
It was the first stage algorithm interview, after which I've got two more algorithm sections and one architectural.
On an architectural stage I was asked to design backend for traffic-jam app like Traffic Alert.
After all process was finished I've got proper feedback for all stages no matter how it was going

The overall experience was disheartening, especially considering the time and effort invested. The recruitment team is very unprofessional, and has lack of experience on working with Senior level. The interview phases, which comprised one architectural discussion and two coding sessions, were fairly standard. Feedback post-interviews was positive. However, there was a significant disconnect when it came to compensation. The offered salary was a surprising 40% below my previously stated expectations, that was clearly communicated ahead. No clear answer about this difference was given, even no official mail sent, primarily all communication was done through informal Telegram calls .
