Yahoo Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Had a brief phone interview with recruiter, scheduled face-to-face interview with hiring manager and one director.
Asked standard interview questions and discussed the industry a bit, interview went really well and invited for second stage interviews with a director and another manager. Again went really well.
Got positive feedback from all, and was told they will be preparing an offer.
I was then, to my astonishment, told that the position has been cancelled due to headcount review.

Interview Details Phone interview, interview with associates and final interview with senior team members.
Very nice ad team in London, however the HR department is just badly organised.

Interview Details First stage was HR interview over the phone going over your CV and soft skills.
Second stage was Phone interview with the hiring manager talking about past experiance and relevant skills for thefuture position.
Third stage was 1:1 interview with hiring manager, 2 team members and operations director. each interview was face to face and lasted 45 minutes. all on the same day so total of about 2-3 hours.

People were very nice and friendly. it was more of a conversation about past experiance and project management skills. some technical questions but not very difficult.

Interview Details I got a fast response from Yahoo after I applied for this position. They called me on Friday to arrange a telephone interview on Monday. I checked the interviewer's LinkIn profile and found out she was an inter HR that made me a bit concerned. The interview took place and the interviewer was nice, the questions were simple and standard. However I found it difficult to catch her English because she was clearly not British. I became a bit nervous after asking her to repeat her questions a few times. Also I can feel that she was getting frustrated. The interview did not go very smooth towards the end.

Interview Details I was interviewed by teams in different areas but the process was much longer than in other companies so by the time I was invited to a second interview I already had two other offers from other companies.

Reason for Declining – Speed of process

Interview Details I was sat down by this very tired looking director who really didn't seem that into the interview. She didn't prepare any questions and she looked so dishevelled. When it came time to ask her questions, she couldn't answer basic ones. Such as, what sort of equipment do you use? I never received any feedback from the interview.

Interview Details Applied online and was contacted a few weeks later by a recruiter who set up a series of two phone interviews. Was then contacted within a week for an in-person interview with 4 different managers and offered a position within two weeks afterward. This interview process went smoothly and I was impressed with my recruiter who always got back to me with any questions.

Negotiation Details – Good, the salary offered was acceptable but I did counter offer and it was accepted.

Interview Details I had 5 interviews with 7 different people in two days for a non- existing position. I sent my CV randomly, they didn't have any opening and even so they interviewed me. The team was interested in having a social sciences qualitative researcher. All the people I met were current researchers and future co-workers which in my opinion is a great way to select people. Eventually I passed the interviews with them but no position was offered to me as they didn't find the way to find me a suitable one for by background. Lately I knew from other sources that yahoo lab in Barcelona is reducing his stuff. The experience was very positive though, the first time in my life I had so friendly hiring process.

Interview Details Contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Had a couple of phone interview, then onsite.
