I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo in Oct 2011
Interview
I was interviewed by 5 individuals, then I gave a portfolio review and participated in a design exercise with other designers and engineers. The design exercise consisted of a mock review of a Yahoo property and specific examples of what I would do to improve it. There were about 15 people in the conference room for the portfolio review and design exercise. Everyone was very nice and I did not feel particularly stressed during the design exercise or portfolio review.

Question 1
The question was specific to my portfolio, but it was about a project I had done 12 years ago.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
There was a phone screening, a video interview, a design challenge, and an on-site interview. The entire process took about 4 months, with about a month in between each interview. Eventually, I had to call them to figure out that I was rejected. The experience was very frustrating.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo
Interview
I submitted my resume and got contacted by a recruiter within a week. Had 2 interview calls with a design manager and senior designer, and was invited for a 1 hr panel presentation. It felt like they were more interested in the product of my current company than myself as a candidate. I was told someone would contact me to provide feedback but I haven't heard back from anyone since my in-person interview.

Question 1
They asked more questions about the product I'm working on rather than questions about myself and my design skills.
