Software Engineer Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
January 1, 2017
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I was sent a coding challenge after a career fair.
It was a 15-minute timed problem on HackerRank. The problem itself was quite easy, but 15 minutes is a very short time. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish debugging, so the autograder failed.
Questions
Easy HackerRank problem.

Pros: Friendly culture, and the scope of your work will be pretty large. This doesn't mean you will be overworked, though, because Yelp really values WLB and does not feel cutthroat. Great environment to learn and grow. Corporate strategy during COVID has been great.
Cons: Comp could be better, especially in high CoL cities like Vancouver/Toronto. Prod/Eng seems understaffed, especially when compared to competitors (Google/FB/etc.), but we are hiring a lot.
