Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I was contacted by the recruiter.
Had a short phone screening first, where I was asked basic questions like: why Yelp, your interests, etc. I was then asked a series of short, knowledge-based technical questions, which were already mentioned.
The second interview was over Skype. I was asked questions about past work experiences, databases, and OS. The interviewer was a bit impatient when I talked about things that didn't interest him.
Questions
Find the sum of two integers represented as strings. Return the sum as a string. For example, "123" and "456" would return "579".

Yelp Work Experiences
- 5.0Awesome place to work!Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesAugust 8, 2014Pros: Yelp is a great place to work! This is my first internship, and all my coworkers have been very supportive. I've learned a ton. The pay is great. They really push for work-life balance (i.e., they actually want you to go home/go have fun after you've put in your 8 hours), and they plan lots of fun stuff for employees and interns.Cons: The free snacks are meh (so basically, there is very little I don't like about working here!).
