I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yandex (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Jan 2023
Interview
I applied online it took 4 weeks. First I had a call with recruiter, we discussed general work conditions and salary range. She also gave me some links to prepare for the interview. Then we called with Yandex employee for a technical interview. Task was completely irrelevant to job description. But the person was very polite and carefully listened my answer. Then answered all of my questions about company. A few days later recruiter came with feedback and reported that I was (surprise - surprise) declined.

Boring
Unprofessional

HR interview - fairly basic, questions about previous experience,
take home case (how would you improve certain scenario / user journey),
presentation of the take home case with the hiring manager and the team lead
then the last case with the Y.do CEO
