I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks. It was a Skype technical interview. The interviewer and interviewee shared a online whiteboard. I was asked for a self introduction then a algorithm coding question. The total time was about 1 hour. Nothing from resume was asked.

Question 1
Coding Questions:
Find the inorder successor in binary search tree.
Problem Description:
Given a binary search tree and a node in it, find the in-order successor of that node in the BST.
Note: If the given node has no in-order successor in the tree, return null.
The selection process will consist of two rounds:
1. Online Coding Round – A technical assessment focused on your core tech stack.
2. Hiring Manager Interview (Online) – A virtual interview with the hiring manager to discuss technical depth, problem-solving approach, and alignment with the role.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo
Interview
The hiring manager did not show up at our originally scheduled meeting time. We rescheduled. The HM name dropped a bunch of big tech companies that they worked for in the past. It felt like the HM was hoping for me to provide a similar list of familiar brand names ... which was odd considering their supposed desire for more startup-y people.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenging project that you worked on.
The process was expected compared to most comparable jobs. Demonstrate and know your coding and you will do fine. The interview was fair and the hiring managers were all tech savvy. I accepted a different development position with another company a few days after the interview. It was a good experience overall.
