I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Santa Clara, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
No complaint about the interview. The HR always response quickly in communications. The onsite interview was a long day and there were many interviewers. The questions are mostly standard, about coding and data structures, algorithms. The interview questions were generally OK but some of them are difficult. The interviewers were nice and were willing to provide hint when stuck. The final offer was in a special package.
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.
