What is the hiring process like at Yandex?

Great team and career opportunities

The hiring process is long, including challenging tech interviews.

-work life balance, cash, infrastructure

The hiring process, dey's disinterest in the product

Great culture and communication style, interesting projects

Slow recruitment process, but it's getting better

- Great office, coffee points, daily money for lunch - Mostly nice colleagues, overall nice culture - Powerful internal tools for development - Great educational opportunities

- Poor documentation - No pros for internal rotations - Sometimes those powerful internal tools for development just do not work, it's a rare thing but can be really frustrating - Overall for Yandex it's a lottery: you either can get into a team where you have to work hard or can find a team where you may do almost nothing and be fine - The company's recruitment process is slow and focused around algorithmic interviews and it seems that hiring mistakes happen often because of this (sometimes they hire people who are great at algo interviews but know nothing about the tech stack they need to work with and vise versa)

competitive salary, full benefits package, free on-site parking, and access to an employee loan program.

interview process too long and complex

The team is full of talents, I grow up so much as an engineer

Google-like interview process, compensation can be bigger

You can grow in almost any direction thanks to the wide range of projects and opportunities across the company.

The performance review process feels like a black box, with limited transparency around evaluation and decision-making.

Easy tasks, basic conditional probability and Bayes theorem, and easy-mid leetcode asks

Too long process - 2 month

Competitive salary, regular evaluation, major tech company in Russia

New processes and rules can be enforced while still being half-baked. No one cares about work-life balance.
