Process
Applied online and was contacted by a recruiter within a month or so.
The first interview was a phone screening with the recruiter. He asked a lot of basic CS questions, very similar to what is already posted here. He also asked some behavioral questions, such as:
- Why Yelp?
- What would you like to do at Yelp?
- Three important factors you are looking for in an internship
- Describe your current projects
- Expected compensation
Questions
CS questions were not hard.
Some behavioral questions were unexpected. List three adjectives that your colleague might describe you.
