The interview was interesting, informative and consisted of several stages on different days There were questions about algorithms, css, javscript Questions were on the position of a junior developer The first stage was average - not all questions were answered (css and javscript) and there was no certainty that it would be a second stage. but the second stage happened in a few days later - there were questions about simple algorithms, revert a string or make functions with recursion - something like that

Other Front End Developer interview reviews for Yandex
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yandex (Kazan) in May 2019
Interview
That`s 4 sections. First was about markup with some live coding. Next 3 sections about algorithms. That were a lot of questions from really easy to much more difficult. But all of them were inside the tech stack.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Repeat the markup by design
- Make this markup with older technologies (like floats or tables)
- Create polyfill for bind function
- Create polifyll for Promise.all
- Some classic algo problems, such as sort
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yandex (Moscow, Moskva) in Mar 2016
Interview
0. Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn.
1. Then I had a brief phone interview with questions like "What technologies do you want to learn?" and "Why do you want to leave your current job?".
2. Some time later recruiter has called and asked me to apply through yandex's online form for job applications. To do that I had to complete an assignment.
3. After that we arranged a skype interview where I was asked more thoroughly about favorite languages, technologies and overall experience in software development. Then I spent an hour and a half solving tricky autogenerated assignment in an online editor and answering questions verbally. The assigment contained questions about js, css and html.
4. Next week I took another round of skype interview conducted by a member of one of the teams.
5. Two days later I had a 3-hour interview in Yandex HQ. It was long because several teams showed interest in my candidacy. Questions that were asked could be splitted on 3 categories - basic algorithms/datastructures, brainteasers and web specific questions.
6. Finally I had 3 final interviews (no pun intended). Each took approximately one hour. During one of the interviews I was suddenly asked to write bubble sort on paper then what are assymptotic complexity bounds for this algorithm and how to prove it. I know those are easy but one might be caught off guard.
I really enjoyed the interview process, all interviewers were smart and polite. In the end I got approval from each team that interviewed me and I had to choose with whom I want to work the most.
Everything was good but the salary was at the minimum of my 'salary fork'. I asked HR if the salary could be raised at least to the middle of the fork, but it couldn't. So I accepted offer from other company.

Write O(n) time algorithm that will find if there exists a permutation of characters for a given string such that it becomes a palindrome. You may assume that input string has no whitespace characters.
