Process

The interview process was very welcoming, prompt, and interesting.

  1. A phone interview with a recruiter asking questions that can apparently be found here.
  2. A Skype interview, where you tell them about yourself for 20-30 minutes, followed by a technical part for 20-30 minutes.
  3. An onsite interview, consisting of four sessions of approximately 55 minutes each, with a 5-minute break between each interview. You are interviewing for a specific group, with three team members from that group and a manager conducting the interviews.

The process overall was the best I have had out of many interviews with all famous companies. Yelp seems like a great company with a promising future, and you still get to have a lot of impact compared to other big companies.
