I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Lockport, NY) in May 2013
Interview
After submitting my resume, I was contacted via email to set up a phone interview. Phone interview was straight forward and friendly. Just wanted to get a feel for what I knew and my personality. Second interview was much the same but with a manager. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Yahoo
Interview
Interview duration was only for about 15 minutes. questions were about linux commands and few basic networking. like about TFTP servers, difference between switch and router, any knowledge on BGP. Was even asked if I had any python experience. Job role was mostly on Linux commands and full knowledge about it.
The interview process was very well organized. Once at the interview it was a comfortable environment and the interviewers were knowledgeable and outgoing. Post interview the hiring process was a bit lengthy but they did keep me informed on progress with hiring the candidate. Overall was a pleasant experience from interview to hiring.
