      Engineering Interview

      29 Jun 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Yahoo (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2010

      Interview

      Interviewed with another member of the team via phone. Was able to cover most of the language questions without too much difficulty, but then began to trip on questions about design patterns and specific algorithms. Unfortunately most of the jobs that I've had have been pretty elementary in terms of code design and usage, and so I was less prepared for that than I should have been. Did not get a request for a 1:1 interview.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What are the differences between a linked list and an array?
