I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo (Santa Clara, CA) in June 2011
Interview
I got a email from the hiring manager for a onsite interview after a brief phone conversation. Hiring manager and her team was good and friendly. Surprisingly three of the five interviewers asked me the same question. Interview went very well, but I never heard back from them. Later on got to know from one of the employee that they had hiring freeze. Waste of my time and theirs..
