I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Phone screen followed by onsite interview with program manager, engineering director, and software developer. After evaluating my experiences as a project/program manager ie. experience with agile scrum methodologies, data center operations, etc.; the questions focused on situation problem solving with personnel ie. how would you handle a difficult co-worker.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard questions, nothing tricky. ie. Tell me about yourself. What experiences do you have that you think will apply to the job opening.
The recruiting process itself was fairly standard, but communication between interview rounds could have been more transparent. There were extended periods without follow-ups, which made the overall experience feel less clear at times.

How have you used data to influence your decisions?
It was a very straightforward interview process. I did a short phone screener with HR and then met with the hiring manager via Zoom. The questions were everything you'd expect - past experience, situational questions, etc.
