I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Yahoo (Santa Clara, CA) in Jan 2010
Interview
Pretty straight forward. I had interviews with 3 different teams and had all 3 offers for different positions. Software Engineer, Research Engineer and Quality Engineer.
There is a serious flaw in hiring process in terms of they ask only listed questions given by management or sort of their own in the field they are skillful and completely overlook your experience. They dont care much about talent but just check whether you satisfy their technology needs.

DON'T BOTHER TO APPLY HERE.
It's October 2018. I was going to graduate in December 2018. I received an offer from Yahoo as a Research Engineer after their usual 2 interviews+on-site setting. I have another offer at this point, which I need to respond by end of October. The recruiter told me Compensation, Benefits, Travel reimbursement and all aspects of the offer on 30th October and assured me I can let the other offer go as they'll send a letter shortly.
I did the biggest mistake ofy life by letting the other offer go. Yahoo did now send an offer in November. In December, they told me(after loads of pestering) there's the holiday season and we may send it in January but nothing is sure.
It's December, month ofy graduation and I don't have a job suddenly. It's January and they've still not got back to me and choose to ignore my calls and emails.
Pretty shameful for a company like Yahoo. If this is the way it treats potential employers it's good I'm not working there.
