I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Intense 4 hour coding interview with 4 different teams. The test questions were quite good while the overall process was questionable. However, the recruiter (or hiring agency) and Yahoo refused to provide for travel experiences. I would not agree to interview with them again unless I was local and did not have to fly or drive for the onsite interview. I would highly recommend out of state candidates and others to avoid interviewing with this company.
