I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yahoo (La Jolla, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
I talked with Yahoo at my college job fair and I was invited to an oncampus interview that will take place a couple of days later. Everything was really prompt - that evening I received an email from an HR rep with more logistic details about the upcoming interview. The employee I spoke to at the fair (who was really nice!) was the one who interviewed me. It was a coding interview and was about an hour long. Unfortunately, I struggled because I wasn't prepared enough, but my interview was very pleasant throughout the whole thing. Overall, it was a positive learning experience and I recommend college students to apply for internships with Yahoo.
