Yahoo! began its journey at Stanford University. Jerry Yang and David Filo, both Electrical Engineering graduate students at the time, launched it in January 1994 with a website called "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web."
Rather than a searchable index of content, the Guide was a directory of other websites structured in a hierarchy. Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web was renamed "Yahoo!" in April 1994. The word "YAHOO" is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle" or "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle." On January 18, 1995, the yahoo.com domain was launched.
Yahoo Inc. is a multinational corporation headquartered in California, United States. It is well recognized for the following:

The Yahoo Company interview rounds are need-based. The necessary and default rounds are the same regardless of the applicant pool.
Yes, Yahoo is one of the best companies to work for. As an engineer, you'll have the opportunity to build large-scale structures. More than 600 million people utilize mobile apps. So you'll be working on the backend (ML, big-data, server side tech, etc. ), front end (Node.js, javascript, etc. ), mobile app platforms (iOS and Android), networking, and so on.
One of the nicest bonuses at Yahoo is the people. Yahoos are highly pleasant and helpful, which are attributes that are required when you are fresh out of college and trying to find your way in the corporate world.
Yahoo's pay and perks were far superior to those offered by any other company in India (with the exception of Google and a few others).
