None of the people that I know were affected. I guess that goes to say something about the quality of our hiring since the time Yahoo! Bangalore started seeing a big spurt in people's strength.

One fundamental thing I see wrong with our hiring process is that since there are multiple open reqs in various teams and since Recruiting team has to meet a 'goal' for each team, they end up reusing resumes which were rejected by some other team.

If that was the case, the stock market analysts would have fired the whole company a long time ago.

Define how you would rank without bias across a company?

Over the years, that list has been most amusing to watch. People keep hopping on and off those lists.
