There are three rounds.
The first round is related to Machine Learning questions from linear regression to tree-based methods.
The second round is coding. There are three questions.
One is stack. The other is queue. And another is merge two sorted linked lists. They are really simple.
The third round is hiring manager. I was asked some questions related to my resume. The hiring manager also asked some career questions.
At least, Verizon Media didn't ghost me even if I saw a couple of comments about ghosting interviewers after interviews. The interviewers are really nice.

The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Yahoo (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Interviewed with another member of the team via phone. Was able to cover most of the language questions without too much difficulty, but then began to trip on questions about design patterns and specific algorithms. Unfortunately most of the jobs that I've had have been pretty elementary in terms of code design and usage, and so I was less prepared for that than I should have been. Did not get a request for a 1:1 interview.
