Very stiff. Mostly did not answer questions only asked for the solution. Pretty easy algorithms on a level of easy/medium. Hard sql where the first task was pretty easy however second one took me 30 minutes to figure out.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yandex (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Feb 2025
Interview
3 rounds of general interviews (leetcode, ml theory, recsys related) and then one per product team.
Leetcode was not that hard, the last question made me think tho, that was not a regular "invert a linked list" problem but more like a geometry/general math related problem, enjoyed solving it.
