You need to go through five technical interview stages: Livecoding Algometric interview Experience check Systems design Introduction to possible teams Between stages there is usually a week's pause and a long wait for feedback when you think you haven't passed yet you can get positive feedback

First screening internet is very basic - just spoke about my experience in a call First and second technical interview was video call + screen sharing + code writing in the special Yandex environment (you can’t run JS code only write it)

Was not awful. For sure is better than it was back then, but still too abstract and far from real-world tasks. Yandex is famous for his algorithmic approach to an interview and I see they are trying to get rid of this label.
