I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Yahoo (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2015
Interview
The HR selects candidates on the basis of their resume. Then a technical interview is scheduled. If you qualify the first interview, you will go through to the second one. It is easy to get an interview call if you have a decent resume. Be cool during the interview and speak all the time. The interviewer expects you to describe each and every thought process of yours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First Question: Implement a stack using 2 queues. You can start by doing the brute force method but the interviewer expects you to provide the most efficient algorithm.
Second Question: The interviewer asked me to write the exact code of how to find the inorder successor of a node in a Binary Search Tree. Also, he asked me the running order of the code that I wrote.
3 rounds of interview
One Coding round LC Medium for Recursion Backtracking
One round of coffee chat with an Engineer
Final round Hiring manager
Overall the process was super smooth, they had 2 weeks of gap between each round which was the only bummer
The interview process was slow unorganized and did not make any sense no follow up nothing made sense it was no good I do not recommend this it was a waste of time so not trying it
