I applied through the college career fair and received an email a few days later.
The phone interview took about 45 minutes. It consisted mostly of technical questions and included one coding problem. I messed up the phone interview because I was nervous.

Yahoo, a dull diamond waiting to shine
Software Developer • Current Employee
Sunnyvale, California, United States
March 12, 2009
Pros: Company with a great brand name. A lot of work was done more than 5 years ago, so there are many opportunities to prove yourself. While other places may be more "chic", Yahoo is a diamond that has dulled, but is still a diamond. I believe that this is the best time to come to Yahoo because it has great potential to be a contender for first place against Google.
Cons: A lot of "leftovers" from two layoff cycles. A lot of good people have probably already left. Some people are tired and are actively looking for other positions. A lot of non-native English speakers (like a 3 to 1 ratio) have accents that take some getting used to, but once you get used to them, there is no problem. Many cutbacks have hurt morale.
