I applied through a combination of internal referrals and direct applications (for Yahoo's direct application, you can also include an internal referrer's email), and I went through interviews with two different teams over the course of two months.
The first interview was with the mail team, where an engineer directly reached out to me. The interview question was a simplified version of LeetCode 995. They mentioned that HR would contact me afterward, but that didn't happen.
The second interview was a technical one scheduled by HR, featuring a non-LeetCode question. The task didn't require a working implementation but rather a pseudo-code plus a dry run. It was roughly about implementing a function for drawing rectangles on a whiteboard, akin to features found in graphics/OpenGL libraries. The interviewer provided basic functions like onclick and ondraw for me to fill in, with requirements to adjust the rectangle as it's being dragged and finalize it once the mouse is released. It should also support drawing multiple rectangles, whether overlapping or not. The idea was to store the rectangles formed by the coordinates upon mouse release compared to when the drag started. The follow-up questions involved the complexity of this approach and if there was a faster way to store this data, such as using a map.
After a significant wait, the manager of the second team conducted a behavioral interview with standard questions. Two weeks later, at the end of March, I received an offer. It appears there was an internal referral pool because the team that offered me the position was one I hadn't applied to directly, indicating I might need to reapply.
