Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
On-campus interview, followed by an on-site with 4 more.
All were typical DSA-style questions.
The engineers I met were exceedingly friendly, and out of all the interviews I've done (from Google etc. to unicorns), Yelp's was the most enjoyable.
There were no breaks during the 4 on-site interviews; however, time flew by and all the engineers were very engaging, welcoming, and good to work with.
Hearing back took on the longer side, approximately 3 weeks.
