I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Yahoo (Omaha, NE) in Sep 2014
Interview
Multiple interviews, both on phone and in person. I think I had 5-6 total and it was a mix of hiring managers, peers and managers from other departments. There were several weeks of lag time in between and then everything completely shut down over the holidays. Then it was a couple of months before I was finally hired. It was not worth the time. Once I was receiving an offer, the HR person assigned to me could not get my paperwork right to save her life. Read and double check everything they send you because every HR and payroll person I have ever met there is completely irresponsible with details and makes frequent and careless errors.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Google search "behvioral interview questions" (but pretend you used Yahoo) and have a solid understanding of their ever-changing fleet of products. Check that day because things are deprecated A LOT. (funding issues). Don't say you use Yahoo maps because they will know that isn't true. Stick to Yahoo news or something basic.
The interview process was super smooth and responsive. The yahoo team followed up regularly. The process was interview long, involving a phone screening and two zoom interviews. Upon accepting the offer, the recruiting team did a great job answering questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Yahoo (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Very disappointed with the candidate experience at Yahoo. After applying online, I was contacted by a recruiter and an interview was scheduled. Just 10 minutes before the call, I was informed of an emergency and asked to reschedule. I immediately responded with my availability, but was completely ghosted despite multiple follow-ups. For a company like Yahoo, this level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. It’s a complete waste of a candidate’s time and shows a lack of basic courtesy. I never expected such careless behavior from a recruiter representing a global brand—such a shame!
Ghosted by HR. I received an email to schedule an interview. I responded to the email with my availability. I never heard from them again. I sent second follow-up email a few days later. Ghosted. HR practices are horrible. Wasted my time.
