Yahoo Sucks

So I interviewed with Yahoo for SDE position, hr said he would get back to me in couple of days and never responded. He knew that I had multiple offers, why the fuck would he not respond. Finally, after couple of weeks I was able to get hold of him after calling like a million times and then he says that my profile is still under review. WTF? why do they treat candidates like this? Facebook was so better, even though I couldn't go past the final round I found their interview process very open and felt they actually cared about me. yahoo get your shit together. #yahoofail

The yahoo people are dead on the inside and just don't give a fuck anymore.

I'm genuinely curious why you would even want to apply to yahoo

NerdWallet XuSm72 OP Feb 25, 2017

well they still do have a decent engineering team and deal with scalability issues

Hubspot birdperson Feb 25, 2017

Sure but so do a lot of other places and tbh do you want to be working for Verizon in 12 months?

I know, but I feel they just don't appreciate candidates time. He promised to respond back and never even replied. We can tell about a company's culture by looking at how well they treat their applicants.
