The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
This was a generic corporate interview. However, from considerable experience, I can say that the staff of recruiters is not very professional at Yahoo. It's too bad the weak link in the process is also the gate keeper. One example is that the scheduled a half day of interviews for me but NEVER told me! Another time they scheduled an interview on the wrong day so I showed up and nobody knew I was coming. I have friends inside Yahoo who have run into problems from their side as well.
As for the phone screen and interview, it was generic. Each person asked me their own set of technical questions, etc.etc...

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (Taipei) in Jan 2022
Interview
3 rounds:
1. talking with HR:
a short introduction of yourself, your salary expectation, your current salary, and do you have an ongoing interview with other companies now
2. 1st round technical interview
talking with the hiring manager doesn't involve live coding, just sharing what you know about the current topic, it's ok to admit that you're not familiar with some topic, being honest is important
3. 2nd round technical interview
talking with the hiring manager + 3 other developers on the team, takes around 3 hours, each of them has deep knowledge of a specific area, some will focus on web security, some focus on the algorithms, etc...
the live coding one evolves on some general CSS adjustments, a simple app that includes functions like a todo app, and an algorithms test, starting from leetcode easy level
