I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied online and received an email from the first interviewer after 2-3 weeks. Two rounds of technical interviews before the final decision.
The first interviewer is very nice and told me he is impressed. 3 algorithm and data structure questions, and two questions about my projects on resume, one question on a course. Ironically, he suggested me not accept their offer if I have other choices.
The second one impressed me with the most horrible interview experience. As a front-end developer, he believes it is very important to know Unix scripts and computer networks, though I was supposed to interview for a machine learning position.
He kept asking me questions like which directory holds logs in Unix, names of each layers of OSI, names of each stages in Agile...actually 16 such questions in total in 45 minutes, in addition to 2 programming questions and one algorithm questions (he asks me to write down scenarios, and interrupted me when I wrote some pseudo codes...)
Neither of us are native speakers, so I guess we have communication problems too.He keep saying JUST WRITE IT DOWN when I was trying to briefly describe the idea or walk him through codes.
And my recruiter never replies emails so I don't know if I got an offer. It was just stuck there and I happily accept offers from another company.

Question 1
The first interviewer is very nice and we are still in touch. 3 algorithm and data structure questions, and two questions about my projects on resume, one question on a course.

The selection process will consist of two rounds:
1. Online Coding Round – A technical assessment focused on your core tech stack.
2. Hiring Manager Interview (Online) – A virtual interview with the hiring manager to discuss technical depth, problem-solving approach, and alignment with the role.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo
Interview
The hiring manager did not show up at our originally scheduled meeting time. We rescheduled. The HM name dropped a bunch of big tech companies that they worked for in the past. It felt like the HM was hoping for me to provide a similar list of familiar brand names ... which was odd considering their supposed desire for more startup-y people.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenging project that you worked on.
The process was expected compared to most comparable jobs. Demonstrate and know your coding and you will do fine. The interview was fair and the hiring managers were all tech savvy. I accepted a different development position with another company a few days after the interview. It was a good experience overall.

Question 1
What is your time management strategy for meeting project time goals.
