I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jul 2011
Interview
It was started with technical phone screening by the hiring manager followed by full day on-site interview. At that time, the entire hiring process was not that bad. I think it took little bit more than a week to get an offer. Nowadays, it takes much longer. I participate in the hiring process as an interviewer now and often see that we lose good candidates because it takes weeks to pass through the hiring committee.
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.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo
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.
