Envié una solicitud electrónica. Acudí a una entrevista en Yandex (Moscú, ) en may 2015
Entrevista
I had a Skype call from HQ office in Moscow. There were 2 interviewers who asked me different questions about my previous job and about my professional skills. I really like the whole interview process with this guys

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
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.
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)

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
