Process
A senior developer (tech lead) contacted me after an internal referral from the Yahoo search team, front-end part. They then scheduled a phone interview with their developer for one week later. If you pass this, you will get an onsite interview.

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: The best part about working with Yahoo is the amount of talented engineers you get to work with. I learned a lot about technology just by reading through various mailing lists where these tech experts are educating other Yahoos on best practices. It's a casual, open work environment which helps you relax and maintain a good work-life balance.
Cons: The company has no direction. The business units do not have enough control over their engineering resources. Promotion opportunities are less, as most of the business units are not faring very well. It gets worse with the total lack of communication between upper management and employees.
