I applied through Yahoo Careers. A few days later, the hiring manager emailed me to set up a phone screen. They asked questions about my resume and experience.

A few days after that, I was asked to come in for an onsite interview.

The onsite consisted of:

• Four groups of two interviewers.
• Lunch with two non-technical individuals, which was very relaxed and included discussions about sports, hobbies, and families.
• A one-on-one meeting with the hiring manager.

Everyone was very nice and respectful. Each group asked some general resume questions and had me explain some of my previous work. Then, they had me work through a problem on a whiteboard.

A few days after the interview, I received an email informing me that I did not possess some of the technical skills they were seeking, and therefore, I was not receiving an offer.

It wasn't the worst interview I've ever had. I thought I did well despite not having as much experience in certain areas as they were wanting, and I was disappointed that I was not given an offer.

Given a hypothetical map, I was asked how to get data between locations in the best manner. I kept adding new conditions each time I solved the current problem.
