Process
First, it was an online test, followed by a non-technical phone interview from HR. Then came a phone interview asking technical questions. The questions in the online test were not very difficult, but the technical interview requires more preparation.

Awesome place to work!
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
August 8, 2014
Pros: 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!).
