I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
First there's a screening interview, not really useful but that's a trend these days. After that I was scheduled 2 interview with different software engineers.
The first one was very basic, he was asking questions about Web architecture and development. Nothing too complicated for a decent Web developer.
The second was a bit more complicated since he was asking live code his algorithm questions, which were not useful problem that you would solve inside a company. It was mainly to see how good you are with your algorithmic skills.

Got the phone screen pretty quickly and was called by a recruiter for a pretty short conversation. The recruiter was really flexible about my schedule and a nice guy. Started the conversation with a few questions about what I would be interested in doing at the company, what my favorite languages to code in are. Then he asked some rapid-fire knowledge-based questions. They're on here for the most part--can't remember any that arent. He let me know at the end of the screen that I qualified for the interview with an engineer which we set up on the spot
