      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo (Waterloo, ON) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      Took place on campus as part of coop process. Two back to back 30 minute interviews with separate engineers from Yahoo. First was mostly about previous experience and a coding question. Second was more in depth fundamentals about JavaScript and another coding question. Overall it was a good experience and they were friendly. As the interview went on they were helpful when asked clarification questions.

      Phone Interview. Basic questions in Java C C++ SQL. The interviewer is good but push at some times. Some of the questions are not easy. At least I didn't get some of the follow up questions answered.
