Question 1
Standard set of questions. Nothing earth-shattering. Some questions involved personal internet habits and professional experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (New York, NY) in Sept 2015
Interview
I applied six months earlier through an employee referral and they seemed interested but had no availability. They reached out about the same position later, at which point I was ready to leave my job. The interview was very quick, friendly, and colloquial. Only had one interview before getting an offer. I met the team manager who then brought two other team members to meet me. They described the position concisely. They were ready to bring me on quickly and the interview only took about 15 minutes.

Question 1
Was only asked about my goals to assess how I'd fit in and how broad my skill set is.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo (San Jose, CA) in May 2014
Interview
It was just one quick interview over the phone after a personal referral and a request to send my resume. I was very surprised when the position was offered at the end of the conversation. Granted, it was a contract position, but it was still (pleasantly) surprising. I was then contacted by the staffing company. This stage was long and tedious. The background check took forever.
