The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
This was a generic corporate interview. However, from considerable experience, I can say that the staff of recruiters is not very professional at Yahoo. It's too bad the weak link in the process is also the gate keeper. One example is that the scheduled a half day of interviews for me but NEVER told me! Another time they scheduled an interview on the wrong day so I showed up and nobody knew I was coming. I have friends inside Yahoo who have run into problems from their side as well.
As for the phone screen and interview, it was generic. Each person asked me their own set of technical questions, etc.etc...
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe what happens from the time a URL is typed in a browser to when the page is shown on the screen.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo in Oct 2009
Interview
Talked to what seemed to be a fairly young software engineer on the phone. It was a long time since I'd done an interview, and I stumbled a bit. A lot of questions were in the realm of browser quirks (which I'm not very good at remembering), and sometimes it seemed like he was looking for a specific phrase rather than a complete answer.
No call back, no follow up.
Oddly, no interaction with an HR person either before or after the phone interview.
