Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process began with a first-round HR phone screen, during which I was asked a series of basic questions regarding OS, databases, and networking.

This was followed by a 45-minute Skype interview with an engineer two days later. This interview included a coding question and inquiries related to Java, Linux, and Android.

The subsequent stage was an onsite interview in San Francisco, comprising four 1:1 sessions. Each of these rounds featured one coding question and some design questions.

Overall, the interview process was not bad. However, Yelp is very stingy regarding hotel reservations (only one night provided) and reimbursements.
