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.

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.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 1 week)
Did not applied directly, received email from the internal staffing department, set initial phone screening in about a few days, it went well: were basic technical background questions about c++/java. The onsite interview was in a week with seven people (five engineers, staffing person and group director). The engineering questions were mostly about data structures and algorithms complexity, several tasks required white board coding, almost nothing regarding previous job experience, accomplishments and the like. People were friendly and very intelligent. The overall experience from interview: despite the outcome (did not go to the next level) it was very educational.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in San Jose, CA (took 2 weeks)
I received a call from Yahoo after I had applied on their job site. There were 2 phone interviews and then I was called onsite. The phone interviews were pretty basic and covered stuff I had mentioned on my resume and basic C++ and unix questions. The onsite interviews were above average. I was asked all traversal type of a Binary tree. Question about some Unix tools, shell scripting. Couple of C++ string manipulation problems.
