Yahoo Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Interview co-coordinators were good. All responses from management were very slow. Also the interview questions were more for designing of a system. I was going there for QA job and didn't expect everyone asking about design and nothing related to testing.

Interview Details – The hiring process was a mess because I was to be a part of a company Yahoo was taking over

Negotiation Details – Yes, Yahoo needs technical talent. They were not flexible with the salary but I was able to negotiate other things I wanted.

Interview Details – Contract position. First a written screen which took about two hours to complete, but nothing in it was difficult to research and answer if you didn't already know it.

Negotiation Details – No Negotiation. Contract provider called next working day (Phone interview was on a Friday) and made an offer which I accepted.

Interview Details – Was contacted by email a month after applying. I had a phone interview with 2 separate teams. Both went well. Had two second round phone interviews, one with each team, about a week after the first one. Went well also. I was told by HR I should know the result for both teams within a week. Now, it has been almost 3 weeks since that and I've contacted HR multiple times through email with no response. When I called them they told me they are still interviewing other candidates and I should know the result soon. I have a deadline for other offers so I'll have to accept those offers because Yahoo has a horrible interview process and they do not care about any time constraints or the fact that the interviewee has other deadlines. Don't apply for this company, you'll be wasting your time. I don't know what's going to happen to my result but if they end up offering me the position over the next week or so I will decline it.

Reason for Declining – Horrible interview process, they do not care about deadlines and take their sweet time to get back to you (if they even do get back to you).

Interview Details – The first interview is over the phone. They ask typical 'get to know' you questions about your background and why you're interested in working for them. After the first phone interview, there was a Quality Analyst exam that I to take and submit within 48hrs of receiving it.

After the exam there was one more phone interview before the onsite interview.

Interview Details – Got invited for an onside interview through a college job fair. Fair Java conceptual questions (it was my very first interview, so I missed some simply because of nerves),, with some discussion of my background. Everyone was generally nice and very welcoming. Received a quick tour of the office afterwards, and that was it. Total time was around 1.5 hrs.

Interview Details – I dropped my resume in university career fair. And I was contacted quickly after that. I got two interviews, both phone screens.Interview Details – I submitted my resume through the job fair of my university. I got the email of the first interview after more than one month.

For the first interview, I was asked some general questions about how to design a problem using different kinds of distributed and parallel tools, like Hadoop, Hadoop PIG, and MPI. I think the reason is that I have previous related projects. No online coding.

For the second interview, the interviewer is a system architect. And we only discussed several question of Hadoop and HDFS. Also some general questions about OOP

Interview Details – The interviews of Yahoo! are not regular. They may ask various kinds of questions. What I encountered is: How to design a survey website? After answering, he was not satisfactory and rejected me in 2 hours...
