The interview process consisted of three parts: two phone interviews (one with hiring manager, one with a peer), and a full-day on-site interview. The phone interviews were very detailed: you had to give very precise answers about your project, and how things went exactly.
In the beginning of the on-site interview there was one one-on-one interview with a manager, then they gave you a short assignment, and you had about one hour to prepare to present it to the team. The presentation was free-for all, expect to be asked a lot of questions. After the presentation you will have more one-on-one interviews with different roles (product manager, UI designers, other UX researchers).
The UX team was very nice and professional and they make you feel comfortable. Their labs in Sunnyvale are also awesome.
However, what makes the overall experience negative are the technical recruiters. They were extremely bad and even disrespectful in their communication: they promise contact you (several times), you arrange your schedule, and then they do not get back to you. Otherwise very pleasant interview-experience, and company impressions, were ruined by them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell about a project you are proud of? Tell about a situation where you had a conflict with PM? Tell about a situation where you had a conflict with business goal?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
First round phone interview with researcher--2nd round interview with researcher--on site interview starting with a research challenge and then 4-5 one on one interview including the lunch round. The interview questions themselves were not difficult, but I did not get the position. The team is very collegial and collaborative.
- Two phone interviews
- Final round is present one of your own project + a design exercise they sent one day in advance
The questions are pretty typical. No really tricky ones. The interviewers are nice.
