Front End Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California
Process
There were two phone interviews, which were used to narrow down and identify the team that would conduct the in-person interviews.
In person, there was a series of four one-on-one interviews, back-to-back, over the course of a few hours. There were no deeply technical or theoretical quizzes, just enough questions to assess my actual familiarity with front-end development and willingness to work on the team, continue to learn, and so on.

Yahoo Work Experiences
- 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.
