      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 7, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Bengaluru
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo (Bengaluru) in Sep 2010

      Interview

      The interview process was very straightforward and simple. The first step was the telephonic round. I was interviewed by 2 people over the phone. This was a test of basic technical skills. After clearing this round, I was contacted by the recruiter who arranged for me to come down to Bangalore for 1:1 interviews. In Bangalore, I went through 3 interview rounds from 10am to 4pm, with a break for lunch. Within a couple of days, I was contacted with an offer, which I accepted.
