I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Yandex (Moscow, Moskva) in Nov 2014
Interview
The process is quite general - first you contact a recruiter (in my case it was some consultant from recruiting company), then you pass several interviews.
As I live not in a city with the company office, initial interviewes were via Skype
1) Initial technical interview (Skype, ~1 hour) - a technical specialist asks to solve some task, asks related questions. The code is written in some online text editor with shared access
2) One more remote technical interview (Skype, 3x~1 hour) - the same as above, but this time 3 specialists subsequently ask their questions
3) On-site technical inteview (Moscow, ~3-4 hours) - you get an invitation, travel to their head office (if necessary), then you get an interview with 3-5 specialists. Coding on a piece of paper/whiteboard.
