I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Taipei) in Jan 2022
Interview
Cold apply on yahoo myworkday site, got the phone screen invitation 1 week later.
Was asked many linux commands, some system & networking things. and things related to my experience.
In the tech panel (2nd interview), I was asked a few bahavioral questions, things about my experience, how to apply a config to many machines with follow-up questions include scaling, error dealing, etc, and finally a coding section.
In the HR interview (3rd interview), I was asked a bunch of lightweight bahavioral questions, I said they're lightweight because they're not as hard as the typical behavioral questions. They're more chill, more get-to-know-you.
Got the offer a week later the 3rd interview.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
What exactly happens when you start a Linux machine?
How to apply a config to many machines? On a larger scale? If you can't use ssh scp? If a machine died? How to ensure the machines have applied the config? How and when to report error to who?
After applying, a member of HR/Ops reached out to do a quick technical screening. Did not discuss the role much further, proceeded to let me know they'll send invites for next stage technical interviews.
