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 college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied through college. Got an email from a recruiter to set up a phone screen/hackerrank. The interviewer called me on time, and was very knowledgeable and professional. However, the questions that he asked were VERY untraditional. I was tested on pure and abstract knowledge of computer science, and not tested at all on my coding skills. I was caught off guard, and did not do so well.

Question 1
What is singleton, and pros and cons of it? What is the difference between hashtable and hashmap? What is finalize()?
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.
