Process
I had a phone call with a recruiter.
The recruiter asked trivia-like technical questions and expected specific answers. Many questions had multiple possible answers, which made it difficult to guess what she was looking for.
The recruiter's tone was generally curt, which made the conversation very awkward. Additionally, while I was answering, she spoke and giggled with someone else a few times. This was very unprofessional.
I did not expect this from Yelp.

Managers care; however, they’re not in a position to create impact.Cons: What counts is the revenue. Severe technical deficits are known to management and won't be allowed to persist until something blows up.
