I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo (Santa Clara, CA) in Oct 2010
Interview
I was first called for a phone interview which was pretty simple and straightforward mainly asking questions on Data Structures and design related.
The after a week i was called for an onsite interview with 4 people.
The 1st round went well the interviewer asked me to write a tictactoe game on whiteboard.
The 2nd round went bad as the person kept asking me some mathematical problems.
The 3rd round went ok with the manager asked me few testing and QA questions which i suppose did not answer that well.
The 4th round was useless. The interviewer was just wasting time and reading my resume and seeing the clock.
Overall the interview experience sucked as they really did not test my skills.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
