Interviewed Jun 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)
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..

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I was interviewed by 5 individuals, then I gave a portfolio review and participated in a design exercise with other designers and engineers. The design exercise consisted of a mock review of a Yahoo property and specific examples of what I would do to improve it. There were about 15 people in the conference room for the portfolio review and design exercise. Everyone was very nice and I did not feel particularly stressed during the design exercise or portfolio review.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Sunnyvale, CA (took a day)
To start with the HR at Yahoo are very helpful. They help solve all the doubts you have. On the day of my interview I along with 10-12 other candidates were taken into a room where there was lunch and a small presentation on what company does. It was followed by 4 rounds of technical interview. The topics ranging from Data Structures and Algos to design question and Optimization questions.
The interviewers were quite friendly. Overall a great experience.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Barcelona (Spain) (took a day)
I initiated contact with Yahoo! Europe through a third-party organization that helps American and Canadian students find internships abroad. The date and time of the phone interview was scheduled via email; my point of contact was very flexible and understanding after I had to have an emergency surgery, and had no problem with postponing the initial interview date several weeks. Their flexibility and genuine concern for my well-being gave me a very positive first impression of the company. The phone interview lasted about 45 minutes, included typical behavioral and experience-related questions, and was actually quite enjoyable; the only difficult part was communicating in Spanish during the last 15 minutes of the interview, which was nerve-wracking. I was informed via phone that I was offered the position, and I accepted. Once on site in Barcelona, there was an additional face-to-face interview to further determine my capabilities, interests, and positional duties; it was very casual and informative. The overall culture of the Spanish office was very relaxed and collaborative; the authority hierarchy was very flat. However, I can only speak to Yahoo's European culture, not it's American environment.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Talked to recruiters at campus job fair. They contacted me a week later and set up a phone interview. Questions were average but kind of unrelated to my educational and research background. There were some general c++ and object oriented programming questions that were pretty easy. Beyond that, completely irrelevant and a waste of time.
