Senior Software Engineer at Yahoo!

3.0
Average Interview
Overall Negative Experience Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Santa Clara, CA (took 3 weeks)

the phone interview was quite easy. Standard algorithm questions. Questions on threads, performance analysis of c++ processes on unix / linux systems and some c++ questions on pointers.

The 1:1 interview was little more theoretical on design patterns, and object orientation. I was also asked to design a class and asked to compare c++ v/s java. Other folks asked about my past experiences and how I solved some problems in the past (situational/behavioral).

Interview Questions

benefits of object orientation? Why object orientation? Expect very specific responses.
Design patterns - names of the specific patterns, and their abstraction and their higher level groupings, names etc.
Exception handling in C++, object splicing, and stack unwinding.

Other Details

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.
