Process
A technical phone screen was conducted on CoderPad. This was a general algorithm question, and any language could be used. I decided to use Swift.
I was then flown out to SF for an onsite interview at the HQ. It started with lunch with a randomly assigned engineer and attending one of the weekly Friday talks.
This was followed by four one-hour whiteboarding interviews. There were no deep iOS questions or "learn-by-heart" API questions. However, I would definitely need to have done some iOS development to make it through.

A great place to learn and grow

Pros: Like the title says, Yelp is a great place to begin your software engineering career.
* Amazing work-life balance
* Great, inclusive culture
* Our component architecture (iOS side) is easy to work with and eliminates the need for delegates and other cumbersome ways of moving data.
Cons: The app looks a bit antiquated (being fixed).
I have had four managers in my one year of being here. While this is not the norm, it is also not unheard of and happens too often. This has definitely affected my career growth. Still, I feel like I have learned a lot here.

Great place to be an Engineer

Pros: Very fun company to work for. There's a great atmosphere amongst the employees, engineering and sales both. I really enjoy everyone I've met so far. Pay is also very competitive, and Yelp also offered stock options, something that has more than tripled in value over the past year.
Cons: I'm hard-pressed to really think of anything as an engineer at Yelp, but if I had to say, it'd be that the company still acts like a startup. Personally, I enjoy that aspect. We move quick, and that can cause problems from time to time. Nothing too difficult to navigate, though.
