I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Beijing, Beijing) in Feb 2009
Interview
Just like other interview for software positions, I was asked to coding on paper to solve some common quiz in algorithm and information retrieval. Except for that, some open questions are also asked. But none of them are not very tough. If your working experience if related to the position you applied, some technical detail will also be asked.

Question 1
How to find the longest non-descent sub series from a series.
The selection process will consist of two rounds:
1. Online Coding Round – A technical assessment focused on your core tech stack.
2. Hiring Manager Interview (Online) – A virtual interview with the hiring manager to discuss technical depth, problem-solving approach, and alignment with the role.

Interview
The hiring manager did not show up at our originally scheduled meeting time. We rescheduled. The HM name dropped a bunch of big tech companies that they worked for in the past. It felt like the HM was hoping for me to provide a similar list of familiar brand names ... which was odd considering their supposed desire for more startup-y people.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenging project that you worked on.
The process was expected compared to most comparable jobs. Demonstrate and know your coding and you will do fine. The interview was fair and the hiring managers were all tech savvy. I accepted a different development position with another company a few days after the interview. It was a good experience overall.
