So, there were 8 interviews in total, and I quit before the final round. I know enterprises have many stages, but this felt like a lot. Five of the interviews had some simple algorithmic questions.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Could you provide an example of an algorithmic problem where, given a list of integers and a target sum, you need to find a sublist whose elements sum up to that target? For instance, if the list is [1, -3, 4, 5] and the target is 9, the expected output would be the range from index 2 to 4, because elements[2] + elements[3] equals the target.

The interviewers were nice and friendly, and the questions were easy. The whole thing took about 3 hours. They asked some questions about mysql and c++, and one logical question that didn't really count. They also asked about triangle test cases from Myers. About half the interview was spent talking about how great it is to work there. They called me the next day to offer me the job, even though I didn't have any testing experience before yandex. I don't have much else to add, it was easy and the salary was pretty good at the time.

I went through 4 interviews all in a row, which was pretty crazy but actually a lot of fun. Sadly, I didn't make it in the end. The people were generally super friendly, though one interviewer seemed to have forgotten their name.
