Process took place at 2014 fall. First I wrote a test at yandex website. Than I had a phone test full of technical questions with HR staff. After that I had a video conference with a technical manager and finally I arrived to Moscow headquarters and had face-to-face interview. There were 3 people in a room besides myself, all of them turned out to became my colleagues soon. We had discussed my former background and current intensions. There were some tricky questions for relevant technologies I have been involved.

The interview process consisted of two phone interviews and two more on-site interviews. The phone interviews were quite simple, they asked me a few general questions and a few technical questions. The main purpose of the phone interview was to check that you met the general requirements for the position. In the office I was interviewed by several people from different teams. They asked a lot of tech questions and asked to solve several logical tasks. I liked it that they did not expect a perfect solution to these tasks, they just wanted me to identify the main problems in the tasks and describe the way I would solve them.
