      Creative Strategist Interview

      8 Jun 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2016

      Interview

      Had 1 phone interview and 2 in-person interviews continuously at Yahoo HQ over the course of about 2 weeks. Interviews were very straightforward -- past experiences, expectations for new position, etc. They were also very informative and fairly honest about the type of work their new hires would be doing.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What do you know about Yahoo? Why you believe you are a good suit for this position?

      Interview

      4 30 minute interviews with managers and different people currently in the role. Involved discussing how I can prioritize tasks, build relationships, think analytically, and being able to look for the upsell all at the same time.

      Question 1

      "How would you write a native ad for X client?" Meaning they were looking for creativity, not necessarily the perfect ad.

      Creative Strategist Interview

      30 Aug 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo in Jul 2015

      Interview

      There were two interviews - one phone interview with HR and a face to face with the creative strategy team in London. 1st Interview - HR forgot we had an interview arranged and so I got into work early all prepared and waited around for nothing. She then sought to re-arrange the interview the same day. Fairly straight forward with general vetting questions surrounding motivations for Yahoo/role 2nd Interview - involved a presentation and general interview questions regarding experience, motivations and technical expertise. The last interview went incredibly well and one of the interviewers described my presentation as 'amazing'. They were practically selling the job to me towards the end. They said they would get back to me with a decision in a few days HOWEVER - I was told a few days later by HR that my interview went really well and that they were 'seeking approvals'. A fortnight went by and I emailed HR and they stated again they were 'seeking approvals' A MONTH WENT BY - HR stated that they were still seeking approvals but something should materialise soon. I emailed HR a strongly worded email suggesting I may have to consider and accept other opportunities if I wasn't told where I stood with Yahoo i.e am I being offered a job and what are the terms/conditions and stated clearly that I would like a concrete response with timelines for the 'approval' process. 2 Months Later - HR never responded to my last email. They never rejected me, but also never 'approved' my hire. So to this day - I never received a decision on my application - just was lead on for a month! This experience was incredibly negative and showcases a very poor attitude to talent management. My time has been wasted and my hopes dashed. I would not advise anyone to work at this third rate organisation and if you are interviewing - please lower your expectations and don't be surprised by total un professionalism.

      1.) why are you leaving your job 2.) why yahoo? 3.) why role? 4.) what could you bring to the table?
