I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Yahoo in Feb 2013
Interview
The first interview was mainly talking about projects worked on. The second got more technical with me writing some code in Java. No language specific questions but some very basic algorithmic questions. Other questions included questions about exceptions. Both interviewers didn't seem too interested or critical. No difficult behavioral questions.
