      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Yahoo (London, England) in Sep 2013

      Interview

      Just got an email from an HR representative to schedule a phone interview. The phone call took 40 mins and I was asked general questions about my current role and experience, as well as math and questions related to the advertising industry. Some of the questions are a bit naive...

      Senior Program Manager Interview

      Sep 12, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Sunnyvale, CA
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Aug 2012

      Interview

      It took a long 7 months because CEO must review and approve every hire at every level. It must up/down multiple times via Yahoo Talent Acquisition folks, the department, then CEO. If the position is not at a high management level, the final CEO approval can get postponed many times. Also, there is a voting process with a minimum of 5 interviewers required. They must write feedback and rank you, totaling a high enough score that an offer will come. CEO approves your offer before you are told what it will be, making countering impractical, as it further delays the entire process. Talent Acquisition quickly sets up the interviews, but then everything drags after that.

      Question 1

      How would you manage competing resource demands from different managers?
