I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Went on campus for the interview. Everyone was very friendly and things went smoothly. The campus is very nice, although it seemed kind of quiet when I was there (although that may be because it was a Friday). I got interviewed by four people one after another, each on different topics. The questions were of Average difficulty, and the interviewers were very patient and friendly, helping you along when you were stuck and giving you hints at times without being too lenient.
They might open up a site that has some interesting javascript, and using standard dev tools, take a look at the source code. Then you have to play with the javascript console to accomplish certain simple tasks on the page.
The selection process will consist of two rounds:
1. Online Coding Round – A technical assessment focused on your core tech stack.
2. Hiring Manager Interview (Online) – A virtual interview with the hiring manager to discuss technical depth, problem-solving approach, and alignment with the role.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo
Interview
The hiring manager did not show up at our originally scheduled meeting time. We rescheduled. The HM name dropped a bunch of big tech companies that they worked for in the past. It felt like the HM was hoping for me to provide a similar list of familiar brand names ... which was odd considering their supposed desire for more startup-y people.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenging project that you worked on.
The process was expected compared to most comparable jobs. Demonstrate and know your coding and you will do fine. The interview was fair and the hiring managers were all tech savvy. I accepted a different development position with another company a few days after the interview. It was a good experience overall.
