Process
Initially, a recruiter contacted me through email.
I then had a very quick 10-minute phone screen interview, followed by a technical interview. All the questions asked in the phone screen can be found on Glassdoor.

First-tier Culture, Great place for growth
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
June 24, 2019
Pros: Even though Yelp is not a first-tier tech company compared to Google or Facebook, it does have the best engineering culture. Hackathons, offsites, snacks, and work-from-home policies are just a few examples (though there's no dining hall).
Managers care a lot about your growth. They are normally patient and willing to help. They will try their best to help you promote instead of suppressing you for higher productivity.
The average age is young, making it a great place for new grads and young engineers.
People are always nice and willing to help.
Cons: Location is not good for engineers with families. SF is an expensive place and not good for older people.
TC is not that competent compared to other companies but is quite generous on RSU.
