Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California
Process
I got an internal referral from a friend.
I went to Sunnyvale for a full day of interviews.
First and second interviews were with developers from the team. The third was with a product manager.
During lunch, someone from recruiting took me on a tour around the office, which seemed pretty nice.
After lunch, I had interviews with HR, the dev team manager, and a tech director. Everything went smoothly.
After a few months, I heard nothing from Yahoo.
Questions
All questions were pretty fair. Nifty-gritty details about JavaScript, but nothing outstanding.
