I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (New York, NY) in Jan 2009
Interview
The interview was incredibly casual and down to earth. I had to meet with the manager, his manager, someone currently in the role and the sales reps I'd be working with. Because it was poorly planned, I was unable to meet with all of these people in one day at Yahoo's office. So I had to make multiple follow-up interviews. Really they just wanted to know my background and were looking for someone who would "vibe" with the rest of the team. Then after they offered me the job, they told me not to leave my other job, and I had to wait what felt like a million more weeks for a background and credit check.

Long very long. It was virtual. There was a lot of communication. Apparently there are multiple rounds of interviews with multiple individuals at different levels. Looking forward to continuing in the process further

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo in Nov 2009
Interview
The individuals who I interviews with were intelligent and very kind. Everyone involved was very open, communicative and genuinely seemed to love their job and the people they work with. The HR team was prompt with feedback and advice. Although I was disappointed that I did not get the job, I am very thankful for the opportunity and would definitely interview with Yahoo! again. The whole process left an impression of great people and a class act company.
