I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yandex Money (Saint Petersburg, Sankt-Peterburg) in Feb 2016
Interview
The fastest hiring process I had ever seen—two weeks from the HR call to the offer. HR team is a real team which helps you during the interview preparation and onboarding. There are multiple steps:
– Brief HR interview, in which you will schedule the meeting in the Yandex office.
– One technical interview with Software development director.
– One technical assignment (you have only 24 hours to finish this).
– One technical interview with the team lead.
– Offer in the same day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

Mostly questions about the experience, then discussion about the software development practices and software design.
