yahoo

Yahoo came today to talk to us. They talked about the culture of the company, internship program, global networking, and how to get our foot in the door. First of all, let me reiterate that Yahoo came today. One of the biggest and well known search engines and news pages came to Temple University. They usually go to the lies of Standford, Harvard, MIT, and Berkeley. So why Temple? Because the recruiter happened to graduate from the Fox Business School. He wants to get Temple graduates into the mix, and get Temple's name out there, which completely understandable and fair. And the way he talked about Yahoo, made sound like the best places to work. They basically pay for everything. You just have to be one hell of a programmer, and get your shit done on time. It's a casual place to work; so jeans, shorts, shirts, and flip flops are actually encouraged. Some of the stuff they work on, made my eyes light up, and think to myself that it would be amazing if I ever had the opportunity to work on a project like that. If you make it pass the initial screening test, which is a phone interview, they fly you out to Sunnyvale, Cali, which is where their headquarters are. There, you go through 5 interviews, each with a business sector, and they basically ask you technical questions. Writing out code, explaining code, and answering other basic questions. I'm definitely going to send my resume to Rose, so she can send it to Yahoo. If I get a phone interview, great, if not, on to the next one.
