Software Engineer Interview Experience - Champaign, Illinois

Process

I received a phone call from one of the managers. We spoke about what they did at the Yahoo Champaign office and my resume/projects. After that, he invited me onsite for 4 rounds of technical interviews and an interview with the site manager to wrap the process up.

Overall, the process went very smoothly, and they were interested in my thought process, not exact solutions. The questions ranged from databases, algorithms, operating systems, and even classification (ML).

I cannot post the exact questions as I signed an NDA. They took me out to lunch at an Indian restaurant, and we spoke about some of their projects and life in Champaign in general. Lastly, the site manager spoke to me about life at Yahoo and asked me about other offers.

I really enjoyed the interview process! I have not heard from them at this point in time.
