      23 June 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Yahoo

      Interview

      Applied online and heard back in a week. Had two phone interviews and then a onsite interview with four team members. All this happened withing 2 weeks. The process of getting approval for hiring took 6 weeks. The process is very long, just like Google. It goes through the hiring committee and then has to be approved by the Executive committee.

      Human Resources Interview

      9 Sept 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sunnyvale, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA)

      Interview

      I was interviewed for multiple positions. The process was fairly lengthy-just about 90 days from contact with the in-house recruiting team until finally being told that I was not selected. During that time I had multiple interviews with a wide variety of people, and four things became very clear: 1) They are working hard to reinvent themselves, and Marissa Mayer's name is on everybody's lips. To the point where I kept trying to think where I had met this person everybody kept referring to so casually but earnestly by first name, as if they had just been talking out in the hallway or I had met her in an early conversation and should have remembered what she said. 2) They are very middle-management heavy. I met multiple Directors and VPs without having a good clear sense of how they all roll up. 3) If you don't already have a Silicon Valley pedigree, you're probably not going to be seen as a good "culture" fit. Which is both understandable (any hire that raises eyebrows right now is high-risk) and very frustrating. 4) There is a pretty high chaos/newbee factor. Many of the people I spoke with were themselves very new to Yahoo, and there seemed to be a lot of job-switching and task handoffs along the way for those who had only been there for a few years.
