I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Santa Clara, CA) in Oct 2009
Interview
the phone interview was quite easy. Standard algorithm questions. Questions on threads, performance analysis of c++ processes on unix / linux systems and some c++ questions on pointers.
The 1:1 interview was little more theoretical on design patterns, and object orientation. I was also asked to design a class and asked to compare c++ v/s java. Other folks asked about my past experiences and how I solved some problems in the past (situational/behavioral).
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
benefits of object orientation? Why object orientation? Expect very specific responses.
The overall interview process was positive and well-structured. It consisted of five rounds in total:
Round 1: Initial recruiter screening call.
Round 2: Hiring manager interview.
Round 3: Frontend technical problem via CoderPad.
Round 4: Final loop (3 rounds).
