I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo (Bengaluru) in Feb 2011
Interview
Interview consists of first round telephonic just general discussion and some easy technical stuff. After that they said to me there will another telephonic round it was schedule and suddenly HR called me that now there will be no telephonic round direct face to face. It was schedule next day itself.
Face to face I faced three rounds all technical and each one told me to wait. After third round HR came and told me that now Hiring Manager will talk to you he will accompany you for lunch and there it self he will discuss. I waited almost 1.5 hour to turn up but no one came it was almost 3:00 PM and finally I call HR, he told me that Hiring Manger will talk you in evening as he is busy and I can go for the day. But till then I am still waiting for his call.
There is not at all professionalism in the process they treat the person coming there as a dog. After taking interview from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM continuously they even have courtesy to ask for tea/coffer not even water.
I applied online. I interviewed at Yahoo (Hyderābād) in May 2026
Interview
I was told I will be having a screening round and hr told the discussion to happen in 3 days...Waited nothing happened..
After 15 days hr asked for a quick screening round which is scheduled around 10:30 PM , ( The employee is an Indian working from US)
Asked about the project details, Explained them in detail.
Not a single technical question.
And then again the asked for another discussion as there was a power cut after 28th min ( Interview was scheduled for 30 min).
Another round of 45 min of discussion, Again no technical question , Discussion was around project and technologies used etc.etc..
Not sure what she was looking or trying to extract.
Thought is waste of time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How long you've working
Why did you switch company
Did you switch because of compensation.
Waste of time. 4 hour work sample + 6 hours of interviews.
No discussion of the work sample or feedback on it at all.
Technical interviewers were not friendly or collaborative, spoke poor english.
I applied online. I interviewed at Yahoo in Jan 2025
Interview
I interviewed with a different department at Yahoo in the past, and this was equally frustrating. The interview itself was not particularly difficult, however communication from the recruiter was spotty. Shortly after the virtual onsite I received positive feedback from the team, but was told they needed more time for a decision. They then proceeded to ghost me.
