I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Yahoo
Interview
I applied via referral and a phone screen was scheduled. I answered questions in both phone screens, and even ran the code in the editor. It was working out to be fine. I even optimised on the solutions and discussed the complexities. In one of the solutions, I was asked the complexity of creating a priority queue(binary heap) of size n and I answered O(n) because everyone gets confused in this but I remember this from my algorithms course that it takes linear time as opposed to common misbelief of O(nlogn) time. But when I said so the interviewer asked me twice whether I was sure, I was like yeah I am sure and explained how it is O(n) but he didn't seem to believe me. But anyway, I continued and gave the optimal solution. And then after two phone screens I got a negative response. I do not know if I should be happy or sad after this.
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.

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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
