Process
Typical software engineering interview. However, my rejection letter was extremely unprofessional.
"Just to keep you informed. We will NOT be moving forward with your candidature at Yahoo/Oath. Continue working on improving your problem-solving and coding skills.
Nachi."
Nachi clearly does not value maintaining professional relationships or even a semblance of a professional image. I would not recommend interviewing with Nachi to anyone.
