UI Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Monica, California
Process
Recruiter screen at Yahoo, followed by a technical phone screen with a UI engineer.
Because I was remote, the panel interview was conducted over the phone and chat (for coding questions).
Topics covered were mostly PHP, with one JavaScript question.
I got the sense that if you truly demonstrate your knowledge, they will ask you additional questions during the interview.
