Software Engineer Interview Experience

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter got in touch with me two months after the career fair. The first round was a simple phone screening by HR, with a couple of questions concerning CS basic concepts. After two days, I was notified to take the second round of coding interview in two weeks. In the second round, the interviewer first asked about my background and how I could apply my skills at Yelp. Then came the coding interview; the question was not too difficult. But I stuttered for a while. I didn't get the offer at last, as expected.
