I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Yelp in Nov 2012
Interview
Signed up at a campus career fair, they emailed a bit after saying they wanted a phone interview. That was quick and I found almost all questions on Glassdoor. The next step was a 45-minute Skype interview, which was just as quick but went into in-depth data structures and other things I had yet to review. I was caught a little off guard by some of the things I was asked to explain, so I had to respond that I didn't know, which they were okay with. There were two or three main problems and it would've gone quickly if I had known them, but I was instead stuck and had multiple dead silence moments.

Applied through their website. Received an email asking for a quick chat. Arranged within the week. Some chit-chat and then some rapid-fire technical questions. By the end of the conversation i was informed that i passed the round and we should arranged a skype interview with an engineer. Received an email a few days later that the intern positions were full.

Got the phone screen pretty quickly and was called by a recruiter for a pretty short conversation. The recruiter was really flexible about my schedule and a nice guy. Started the conversation with a few questions about what I would be interested in doing at the company, what my favorite languages to code in are. Then he asked some rapid-fire knowledge-based questions. They're on here for the most part--can't remember any that arent. He let me know at the end of the screen that I qualified for the interview with an engineer which we set up on the spot
