Difficult Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Jun 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 1+ week)

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.

Difficult Interview

Overall Negative Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)

I was first called for a phone interview which was pretty simple and straightforward mainly asking questions on Data Structures and design related.
The after a week i was called for an onsite interview with 4 people.
The 1st round went well the interviewer asked me to write a tictactoe game on whiteboard.
The 2nd round went bad as the person kept asking me some mathematical problems.
The 3rd round went ok with the manager asked me few testing and QA questions which i suppose did not answer that well.
The 4th round was useless. The interviewer was just wasting time and reading my resume and seeing the clock.

Overall the interview experience sucked as they really did not test my skills.
