I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied on the Career Fair in our university. Got email for phone interview about 2 weeks later. Tried to arrange a time but failed to get confirmation and finally got postponed for a week. The interview is about 50 min. First introduce what the team does nicely. Then ask basic question on C++, OS (pthread), Network(DNS resolution) and two algorithm test.
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.
