I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Had a phone interview that was only 30 minutes long, pretty basic questions. The next day they offered to fly me out to their Sunnyvale office. Had a full day of interviews, starting with a panel presentation and 6 one-on-one interviews. The interview was very easy and casual. Was very surprised with how trivial the questions were actually. Campus is very cool, people seem casual, which is nice.
