I applied to Yelp after speaking with a representative at a college career fair.
My initial interview was a 15-minute session where the recruiter asked me a series of computer science questions covering various topics. These should be basic if you have taken any CS courses in college.
I then moved on to the technical interview, where I was asked a few questions, such as "Why are some websites slow?", before completing a coding problem. The coding problem wasn't extremely difficult; it involved being given a number of nodes and edges and writing a method to generate a random graph.
Unfortunately, I didn't perform well enough to impress my interviewer, as I did not advance further after that interview.
None
