Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 3 weeks)
The process began with a phone call from the recruiter. From there we scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager which went well. At point we set up an onsite interview at Yahoo! to meet with the various team members (together and separately). The interview did not require a self-presentation, however I was given several skills tests and challenges. The onsite interview lasted a full six hours, and I felt somewhat encouraged. Afterwards, the manager requested additional sample work and proposed a design challenge. The frequent communication from the recruiter was impressive and seemed positive. However three weeks after the onsite interview, I was informed that the team was continuing their search.

Interviewed Jun 2007 in New York, NY (took a day)
The interview process took forever. I had a phone interview with my recruiter which was very standard it took around 20 mins to complete. I then had to call my recruiter every Thursday for a whole month until they were finally ready to interview me. I went to the office got there early (very key at Yahoo), I met with my recruiter for a few mins and finally had my real interview. I met with a man first (who became my boss). He asked me very standard interview questions about my work history. He was very down to earth yet serious at the same time. He then asked me some interesting questions like : "How many tennis balls can you fill this room with?" as well as "Why is a manhole cover round". It took me a while to figure him out., but once I did the conversation went very smooth. I then met with a woman who asked me the same past work history questions (very standard). After we spoke the man came back in and gave a me a tour of the office. I recommend feeling out your interviewer. If they seem very lax go with the flow don't be tense. If they seem very uptight be very serious. Yahoo is a very relaxed work environment so unless your planing on interviewing for a job very high on the totem pole don't worry about it!

Negotiation Details
The negotiation phase took all of 10 mins. Don't under estimate what your worth. Always choose high and then work your way down. Don't do the opposite.

its ok. pretty ordinary. nothing spectacular. i don't think the interviewers were very chorent in the sense, i doubt if they shared their feedback between themselves while the interviews were in progress. at least, it didn't seem like it.

Interviewed Apr 2007 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 days)
Yahoo took a long time to give a decision after the interview. I got one phone interview and one on-campus interview. The phone interview lasted about 20 minutes and was asked coding questions. The on-site interview consisted of both personality questions and coding questions. The HR rep who organized the interview was very prompt in all requests and setting things up. However, I got the official offer about a month after my second interview. Basically, the manager didn't finalize on his end after the interview. I usually push for decisions by the end of the week, but Yahoo chose to drag it out to the very end. However, in the end, it all worked out.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 3 weeks)
One of the nice things I've found about people at Yahoo is that they're very chill and welcoming in their job interviews. I felt comfortable geeking out about the latest technologies, and was in fact encouraged to do so, to show that I was connected to the whole Web 2.0 ecosystem. For the team I was interviewing for, most of the questions were straight out of the book "High Performance MySQL", and were extremely straight-forward. In the whole process, as I talked to different people on the team, there were a couple times where I had appointments rescheduled at the last minute. Otherwise, it was a really enjoyable experience.

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took 1 week)
Initial communication was through HR. HR did a first round of screening with some template questions on my background. Next phone screen was with the hiring manager. The conversation was technical/problem solving leading to solving hypothetical problems, trying to gauge how I thought "out of the box".
In person interviews consisted of 6-7 folks ranging from technical questions, problem solving on the board, designing solutions, coding problems as well as personality fit.
The follow up call from HR was in 2 days with an offer.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 days)
The recruiter who replied to my resume submission was professional and high-energy. The phone screen with the hiring manager was positive and the questions were relevant. I felt welcomed when I arrived for the interview. However, the interview was low-energy. Two of the three people with whom I spoke didn't seem to know what to ask. One left before our 45 minutes were up and left me alone in the room for at least 15 minutes. The experience was uncomfortable. After the interview, I was pretty sure we didn't hit it off and I wasn't expecting an offer. The recruiter took a couple of WEEKS to get back to me and say that they were going with another candidate.
