      Average Interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Yahoo in October 2015.

      Interview

      A frustrating interview experience because the questions were nonstandard (didn't get a single data structure / algorithm question). Would be fair if I was several years in industry and acquainted with this stuff, but I'm still in college and don't necessarily possess the domain knowledge yet. The person was nice enough though, but it was just a bad fit for the time being. The rejection email was an automated message. This was the part that left me with a bad impression. It's should be a courtesy to thank the candidate for interviewing with them.

      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Yahoo.

      Interview

      I had 2 interviews on campus after meeting a recruiter in a job fair. My gpa was actually lower than their standards but they gave me an interview anyways. They asked me resume questions as well as give me an opportunity to explain why my gpa was low (3.4). Afterwords they asked me simple questions like reversing a linked list, and then asked me questions like what other offers do you have? I was then given the 2nd interview immediately afterwards, to which they asked 3 programming questions, like parsing a regular expression given a string, and designing monopoly and how to determine if a list has no duplicates.
