"Standard" program management questions and situations were given during the interview. Some examples include: - How do you track progress? - How do you know when you are "done"? - What's the toughest issue you had to deal with? - What did you do about it? - If the project you are initially assigned is in trouble how do you get it back on track?

Just got an email from an HR representative to schedule a phone interview. The phone call took 40 mins and I was asked general questions about my current role and experience, as well as math and questions related to the advertising industry. Some of the questions are a bit naive...

It took a long 7 months because CEO must review and approve every hire at every level. It must up/down multiple times via Yahoo Talent Acquisition folks, the department, then CEO. If the position is not at a high management level, the final CEO approval can get postponed many times. Also, there is a voting process with a minimum of 5 interviewers required. They must write feedback and rank you, totaling a high enough score that an offer will come. CEO approves your offer before you are told what it will be, making countering impractical, as it further delays the entire process. Talent Acquisition quickly sets up the interviews, but then everything drags after that.
