Yahoo Interview Questions & Reviews

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...

Interview Details – Got contacted by a recruiter. Very informative and nice chat. Next was an interview over the phone, it wasn't that difficult. After that they invited me on site. Got interviewed by 4 Engineers. The questions were quite challenging so be sure to review all your CS course.

Interview Details – The worst interview I ever had was for a web developer position with Yahoo! I was interviewed by a team of arrogant web developers. None of the people who interviewed me had any people skills. They basically interviewed me one-on-one, one right after the other. They bombarded me with questions that you could tell they were working on solving at the moment, and when I couldn't answer them on-the-fly without researching the problem and searching the Internet for solutions, they showed me out the door as if I had wasted their time.

Interview Details – Highly organized and structured. Excellent and effective process.

Interview Details – Initially contacted for a telephonic interview, had a call with recruiting manager for about an hour and then had a second telephonic with one of the engineers and it was a technical round. Didn't hear back for a while and got a call after 3 weeks and was told that the position went on hold for a while and scheduled a second telephonic technical round for another one hour. I had couple of other offers at the time but was inclined towards yahoo since I'm going to get to work on hadoop at Yahoo. Hiring manager expedited the process after that, called in for an in person interview one day before a long weekend, it was 5 hour long interview around algorithms, data structures, C++ coding and misc perl and unix questions and some random db questions. Time just flew by and immediately after the long weekend was given an offer.

Negotiation Details – I was able to get a good offer in that down market, and was able to negotiate a signing bonus. But, it is tough to get a raise once settled in to the job, would suggest to negotiate for about 20% of what you are making and you may endup with at least 15% higher.

Interview Details – manager is not good but the rest of the team asked proper questions

Interview Details – pretty nice people, asked me related questions to my research and background.

Interview Details – Was initially contacted by HR and was followed up with subsequent 1:1, and group/panel interview. The real kicker is the final HR interview that was nearly like police interrogation and lasted nearly 2 hours. Aside from that, the previous interviewers were quite likable and personable and were actual coworkers.

Interview Details – It was very simple,
I was asked to crack one skill test on skillexam.com, And that was the main phase of the interview. After that they called me for interview as my marks were very good and 'skillexam' is not an easy skill test. And that round was only negotiation round they didn't asked technical questions to me! simply I got oppointment letter after 10 working days and still I am working in Yahoo, CA.
