InterviewI applied through college or university. I interviewed at Yahoo (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2016
Met representatives from Yahoo at the university fair. Discussed possibilities regarding a summer internship. The HR was very friendly and scheduled an interview the following day as per my preferred time slots. The interviewer was pretty chilled out as well.
