Interviewed Mar 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 weeks)
Had a very good phone interview with the hiring manager. We talked about my previous finance experience and he seemed very pleased by it. Wasn't very technical. Then I had an in-person interview where I met with everyone on the team. The job would be considered a step backward for someone with my experience, so I had to try to convince them that I would be a good fit. I didn't do a very good job.

Interviewed Mar 2007 (took 2 weeks)
The hiring manager called me asked general questions regarding my current experience , then started asking about some testing concepts. The a week later I was called for onsite interview, by 5 people I think. Each person will ask different area of questions like QA experience, Programming, Database, Linux skill. One interviewer came with the laptop and I could use his laptop to perform some basic web programming to demonstrate the QA areas. I was surprise I wasn't asked to do any programming demo live, it was all about concepts , methodologies.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
It was everything I thought it would be. Was a little suprised by the logic games, but they were meant to be fun and show team building etc. Submitted my resume by refferal internally. Got a call the next day for a screener. Followed a week later by a 30 min phone interview and another 30 min phone itnerview 3 days later. Then was invited for a round robin of 6 people 30 minutes each. All of them very professional and kind. The interview process was preatty seamless. However, they did'nt follow the schedule that was sent and I was thrown off a little but remained calm. Was then invited to phone interview with a Yahoo (thats what they are called) in London. Later received an email that they were pursuing other candidates. I beleive I did'nt have the SQL experience and web experience they were looking for. Was also told by an internal member the position was very hard to get and they had been interviewing alot of candidates. Would itnerview again in the future. Was a great experience overall.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 1 week)
the inverviewer was a technical hiring manager. Unfortunately, I was thinking the first phone interview should be a HR guy. Therefore, I am a little surprised when the guy started to throw technical questions on me.
The technical questions are not hard. It involves Selenium, Hudson, Test Framework, Interface and Localization.
I am a little nervous. So, did not perform very well. Should have more practice and preparation.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The process started with an email from a Yahoo recruiter looking for software engineers, and while happy at my current job, I at least wanted to see what Yahoo had to offer. After the phone interview with a hiring manager and another developer that went well, they requested that I come out to Sunnyvale for an in person interview. They paid for everything, airfare, car rental, and a nice hotel. The interview lasted ~3.5 hours and I met with a development team and some other business people. The interview mostly consisted of white-board coding and a few questions about my experience.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 weeks)
My interview took all day long and exhausting. However, some people have been hired after interviews with a few people and finished within an hour.
Later I became a hiring manager and noticed that the process is depending on availability of interviewers and work schedules (or laziness).
Many interviewers do not have ability to judge technical skills (when hiring an engineer) so they simply see if they personally like the candidate or not.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 1 week)
Company seemed in the between the extremes of refocusing and out right chaos. There was a fair amount of hubris yet they seemed to be suffering from AGAD (Acute Google Anxiety Disorder). It was an 8 hr interview which in my opinion was about 7 hours too long.
I was difficult to know exactly what they were looking for as each person I interviewed with seemed to have a different view of the job requirements.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 1+ week)
The best interview experience in my career, and I've been to quite a few interviews.
After an email, I got a call for a phone screening. For some reason I was expecting HR person, instead talked to the hiring manager. He asked just the right questions that painted an exact picture of my skill level - how much I do know and where are the limits of my knowledge and experience. In general, I'm straightforward and honest person when it comes to interviews, I don't exaggerate my skills to present in a better light. But still it was uncanny how the person asked the questions that will give an accurate idea of me as a developer and employee. Usually you can cheat your way through an interview process, but not with Yahoo.
Then there was an onsite interview with 4 people and the hiring manager again before and after the others, including informal chat over coffee in the excellent Santa Monica Yahoo! Center.
Overall very challenging phone screening and a relaxed and friendly onsite experience.

Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate 5% on top of the offer. Advice: ask for it, what do you have to lose?

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took a day)
The interview didn't focus on the boring algorithm/coding problems. We spent most time discussing the open problems related to the group's work. It's more flexible and it's not possible to prepare. I like this format though. I was feeling relaxed and it was like chatting.
