Android Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I never got the chance to talk to an engineer, but was given a 90-minute coding exercise that I had to do remotely and send in the code via email.
I can't say what the Android application was, but I think if you know your Android sample apps and paging well (hint hint), you should do well.
I completed the application perfectly when compared to the example, but was still rejected.
Though, I also discovered I was up against people from MIT, GWU, and such, while I attended a 200+ ranked school. Considering how Yahoo values universities, it seems to have been a no-brainer.
Questions
I only got to the Android 90-minute coding exercise where you have to make an application.
