I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Yahoo (Miami, FL) in Apr 2008
Interview
The interview process was actually fast and hopeful (for me). I sent in an email replying to a position posted on my university's job-board and received a reply 2 days later to set up a first interview later that week. I went to the first interview with the future supervisor who questioned me to test environmental compatibility and personality as well as technical background. Then interviewed with a more coworkers to better judge technical abilities through conversation (no real written test). There were 2 more interviews, the second was with the technical staff (developers and engineers) and the 3rd was a phone interview with some specific tech related questions.
The people (in the Miami office) were very warm and welcoming with varying technical / business backgrounds. They were more careful in trying to see if you'd fit into the corporate culture than testing your technical knowledge. However, the further up the chain your interviewer is, the harder they are to read.
The people, once in, are very easy to work with. Everyone tries to help each other and show each other how to get around and complete their tasks. Its really is a great place to work.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What different (javascript / css) libraries do you use and why? What are the benefits you see from using these?
challenges in previous production experiences, tell me about who you are, etc. very easy questions. Friendly interviewer. A lot of small talk also helped. But they also want to know that you can do the job and potentially also exceed their expectation.

went through two rounds of interviews- first, phone interview with Human Resources and then video interview with the team. Entire process (from applying to interviewing to hearing back) was less than a month
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Yahoo (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
There was an original Phone Call then an In Person Meeting. Simple chat about job functions and responsibilities and previous experiences. Typical job interview protocol. I wouldn't worry about it if you are confident in your work.
