Process

This was a generic corporate interview.

However, from considerable experience, I can say that the staff of recruiters is not very professional at Yahoo. It's too bad the weak link in the process is also the gatekeeper.

One example is that they scheduled a half day of interviews for me but never told me! Another time, they scheduled an interview on the wrong day, so I showed up and nobody knew I was coming. I have friends inside Yahoo who have run into problems from their side as well.

As for the phone screen and interview, it was generic. Each person asked me their own set of technical questions, etc., etc.
