      Software Engineer Intern Interview

      30 May 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo

      Interview

      Was contacted by a hiring manager after submitting my email during a campus career fair. Sent application and was soon asked by the hiring manager if I was available for a remote technical interview. Agreed on a time for later in the week. Come that time, I wait 15 minutes after I should be receiving a call before I contact the hiring manager asking whether the interview was still on. Hiring manager tries to say that we agreed on a different time all along despite our very clear email trail confirming and re-confirming our set time. Luckily I was available for the time that she claimed we were set for, but it left a very bad impression of unprofessional handling of the situation and disregard of my time (who doesn't apologize for their obvious mistake?). Finally, during the actual interview, was paired with a current software development employee. Had a conversation portion in which we discussed my interests/experiences/etc. and then a technical phone portion where I was asked about various sorting algorithms and runtimes and then moved onto a google-doc esque environment where I was asked to implement mergesort. The phone interviewer seemed very pleased with me and was suggesting I would be moving forward, but never heard from them again.

      Question 1

      Implement mergesort in language of choice (chose java)

      Interview

      It was medium level interview. The interviewers were very responsive and friendly. They concentrated more on approach rather than optimisation. In the end, I was able to come up with an optimised solution.
