I got phone interview from Yahoo!.
They asked what kind of programming languages I use most
and go through all the questions on those languages that I mentioned.
In my case, it was C,C++, Java
For C, it is important to know low level instructions and macros.
For C++, java, they asked details of OOP design.
For operating system, they asked how to measure system performance in Unix.
It requires to talk about the explanation on the commands.
I was also asked to Balanced Search Tree.
I was asked to implement.
In my case, I was not prepared much.
If you want to prepare for the Yahoo! interview, you should be prepared much.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implementing Balanced Search Tree, I thought they they ask BST(Binary Search Tree).
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.
