Front End Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore, Singapore
Process
I received a phone call from their recruiter and was scheduled for an interview.
I was first interviewed by their senior front-end developer. His questions were mostly about terminologies, which I didn't really like, e.g., 'What is DDT?'. I failed to answer some of the trivial questions he asked. I don't think those trivial questions were necessary when doing development work in the real world because you can easily Google the answers and terminologies.
I was then interviewed by their engineering manager. The questions were mostly technical and situational, in which I think I did a great job answering them.
Questions

Yahoo Work Experiences
- 5.0Yahoo was the foundation of front-end engineeringFront End Engineer • Former EmployeeParis, FranceApril 9, 2012Pros: Front-end engineering, as a profession, started at Yahoo. There's great pride in the work people do. There's little politics at the engineer level. There's opportunity to move around and work with other teams. Yahoo supports open source software.Cons: Too many layoffs and restructuring. There should be more options, bonuses, and incentives to keep loyal employees.
- 4.0Where are we going?Front End Engineer • Current EmployeeSunnyvale, California, United StatesMay 17, 2012Pros: You are allowed to figure out your own ideal balance between work and play. Hours are very flexible, time off is generous. Work early or late as you prefer. Many work from home.Cons: Poor direction. The last few years have seen projects released with no follow-up or maintenance. Other projects were restarted several times or cancelled close to release. There is no clear plan of attack for Yahoo's comeback. Subsequently, we have lost almost all the "big name" web devs who used to be a selling point to incoming engineers.
- 4.0I enjoyed my time as a Yahoo contractorFront End Engineer • Former EmployeeSunnyvale, California, United StatesSeptember 5, 2013Pros: Great work environment, among peers committed to the company's success.Cons: Lack of focus and clear direction.
