I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
I met an employee at a career fair and I was asked some technical questions on the spot. I did horribly but a week or so later I was contacted by a recruiter. There were two really easy phone interviews. Mostly basic coding stuff, linux environment, etc... The process was a little bit disorganized, I wasn't asked to schedule my second interview, my interviewer called me in the middle of a class.

Interview
The interview process consists of two rounds, For me, both were technical round. The first one was about general technical knowledge(Java classes,functions,javascript etc), and in the second interview, the interviewer went into the details of data structures. I did not get the offer because I had not prepared so well.

Interview
I was initially scheduled for two phone interviews and both the interviewers were very nice and helpful through the process. One of the interviewers had me code some Java library functions on collabedit and asked me some basic questions on java. The second interview continued with more questions on java but also touched on internet protocols and data structures questions. He didnt make me do any questions on collabedit but I had to walk him through the process of an answer for the data structures questions.
I had a third and final interview a couple of weeks later with the team I wanted to be paired with (the mobile team). Here, he tested my coding and knowledge about Android. Overall, it was more of a conversation rather than an intense interview.
