Process

The first round interview is by phone with an HR representative who has no technical background. Nothing was unexpected; most of the questions are posted on the website.

The first question is "Why Yelp?", followed by quick CS questions. These cover databases, data structures, basic algorithms, computer networks, and basic computer architecture.

The last question is about Python, and it was not very difficult.
