Process
I applied online. The process took over two weeks. It was a Skype technical interview. The interviewer and interviewee shared an online whiteboard. I was asked for a self-introduction, followed by an algorithm coding question. The total time was about one hour. Nothing from my resume was asked.

Yahoo Work Experiences
- 3.0Yahoo would have been one of the best places to work, if not for the politics in the MEP teamSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSunnyvale, California, United StatesAugust 21, 2014Pros: Laid-back work environment in most teams. They provide the developers with all the tools we need to do our jobs well. Delicious food and snacks are provided for free at all times. Excellent gym onsite. Shuttle service is available.Cons: There's a strict rule about not working from home in the MEP team. Some people are quite politically motivated and will even lie to push their own mistakes onto others' plates. Managers change frequently; I went through 7 managers over 3 years.
- 5.0Great Environment, Low PaySoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNovember 5, 2021Pros: The work environment was great there.Cons: Salary could have been better.
- 1.0Company has no respectSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeDublin, Dublin, IrelandFebruary 18, 2024Pros: Modern and empty office, great work events.Cons: The whole system needs to be changed.
