I interviewed at Yandex (Belgrade, Central Serbia)
Interview
I had 3 sections: classical machine learning and programming, algorithms and computer vision specialization. I found machine learning section pretty relevant. Algorithms are part of the culture and that'ok. I was completly disapointed in computer vision section. It has a little common with reality.
