I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Ciudad de Mexico) in Jul 2013
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn, then got an e-mail telling me that they wanted to set up an interview, I answered and it took them ages to set up an interview. I got then contacted for 2 positions, first phone interview went well and the second went horribly wrong, interviewer was non-American with a terrible accent (consider I am also non-american citizen), this was my first mistake, after this terrible interview should have probably spoken to recruiter and told him of the quality of the interviewer.
Following the phone interviews I got an e-mail they wanted a second interview, but I didn't reply quickly as I had other things going on, by the time I replied they told me the position had been taken.
Overall, interviews are quite generic.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
