I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Nov 2013
Interview
After a phone screening, I got an on-site interview. There are basically three rounds with three different people at the same day. Each round is towards different directions. First round is basic algorithms, and second is more related to big data which third round is related to object-oriented programming. I was asked to implement the insertion method for binary search tree.

Question 1
In the second round I was asked how could I deal with large data file. I just have no idea of the question. The interviewer was nice and kept explaining his point to me. It's a more general answer than what I thought. I was thinking of detailed algorithms to solve that. I was also asked why choose Yahoo. I can't think of a very special reason that just suitable for yahoo.

I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Yahoo in Oct 2015
Interview
I received an email from Yahoo, we scheduled for a phone interview in the following week. The person interviewing me obviously had little to no experience in interviewing people: he took several minutes to set up the shared coding document, did not speak for a long time (I had to fill up the blanks...).
The interview was easy, I received an email to schedule for a second phone screen but I declined.
