I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
It was pretty simple. I spoke with the VP Eng and several engineering managers. The questions were mostly about management style. Then there was a product management problem to solve and discuss.
