Interviewed Dec 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
It was walk in type on an invitation basis. I was short listed for the walk in. Initially I showed up assuming there was only one interview. After the first one, they asked me to stay back for another round. Then as the day progressed I realized that I'm going to be there for the entire day. The interviewers were a mix of technical people and senior management.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 1 week)
Attended the interview today!!!
Knew in advance that for them Experience level does not matter.
So prepared on data structure and algorithms for a week.
Initial round Phone interview(30 min) :-
Asked basic details about my work, then suddenly datastructure questions.
1) Find median from continuously changing stream of data.
2) Find 2nd maximum in array.
3) Find nth largest in Array.
-------------
Called for f2f discussion.
All 3 technical and one hiring manager rounds consisted of only data structures.
No one asked anything in Java. Though I was called as Java requirement.
Dont know why so much concentration on data structures only.
Also, I feel my skills were not matching, as they wanted someone who has worked on PHP,Perl.
Honestly, I was not expecting negative reply but I guess my 2nd technical round and skills impacted my interview.
At the end I feel that if you want to go to yahoo, then study like a fresher preparing for your first job. Experience level doesn't matter.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
It took whole day to complete the process. Surprised by the kind of people and kind of technical questions asked. Probably I had over expectations. There is no focus on potential, thought process and problem sloving skills but just very syntax and JCP kind of questions. There is no intelligence in the questions so very disappointed. Lots of API related questions which no software engineer need to by heart. Looks like Yahoo standard has been going down.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 1 week)
It started with Phone interview, interviewer asked very basic questions... After 1 week was called for
1:1 interview
Position was for automation engineer... But am into Manual testing which was clearly mentioned in my resume and also told in phone interview
Even though i was called for 1:1 interview. The interviewer asked all basic questions on testinf, drilled me for 1.5 hrs and after was told by HR am not suited for thier business requirement
They have serious flaw in hiring... before callling people , kindly go through resume properly and check if they are suited for the job or not
All in all, utterly disappointed

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
We had a technical test to begin with. about 10-15 people we selected for the interviews. Then we had about 3 rounds of interviews (2 tech + 1 hr) and finally we had a computer programming test and were given 3 hours to complete a program in any of the object oriented languages. It was a good experience overall.
Negotiation Details

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
Interview consists of first round telephonic just general discussion and some easy technical stuff. After that they said to me there will another telephonic round it was schedule and suddenly HR called me that now there will be no telephonic round direct face to face. It was schedule next day itself.
Face to face I faced three rounds all technical and each one told me to wait. After third round HR came and told me that now Hiring Manager will talk to you he will accompany you for lunch and there it self he will discuss. I waited almost 1.5 hour to turn up but no one came it was almost 3:00 PM and finally I call HR, he told me that Hiring Manger will talk you in evening as he is busy and I can go for the day. But till then I am still waiting for his call.
There is not at all professionalism in the process they treat the person coming there as a dog. After taking interview from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM continuously they even have courtesy to ask for tea/coffer not even water.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
Started with a Phone Interview with a panel of 2 people from Yahoo, One a Program Manager and the other being an HR representative. This was for a duration of 1 hour. Consisted of normal questions as to:
- Current profile
- Which teams/all co-located or geo-separated
- SCRUM based development, this was one of the biggest topic discussed
Following this, i was call for a face to face interview at the Bangalore office. Yahoo provided for the air-fare and actually provided me the tickets as well. However there was no offer for the transport cost within the city from Home to Airport / Airport to Yahoo and vice versa.
Surprisingly, although the interview was scheduled nearly 15 days ago, people from the panel were missing or not in office. I was made to wait for an hour before the process started with an adhoc panel and with a couple of people taking the interview over the phone while i was in the Yahoo office.
Again the interview mainly consisted of discussions on the projects i have worked one and again the biggest factor was the SCRUM based development methodology.
Post this, i had phone interviews with Director Program Management, based in US, and then again with a Sr. Dir. Program Management. These two interviews happened a couple of weeks after Yahoo office interviews.
I was informed approx. 1 week post the last phone interview that the deal would not work out.
Overall an OK experience, but the time taken was not expected since this was detailed out to be an urgent requirement.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took 5 days)
Yahoo Bangalore is pretty much a waste of time. The recruitment team does not have the common human decency to inform you of the outcome of the interview.
Interviewers are a mixed bag: some are very professional and some are just bad.
If you have time, go and take the interview for practice or entertainment.
If you get a offer, you have to decide whether to get involved with a company that is on the way out.
Overall, I did not get a good feeling from Yahoo Bangalore. The recruiter and some interviewers were unprofessional.
