Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
I met Yelp representatives at the university job fair. They were really nice.
Two weeks later, I received a first-round phone interview.
As I was a new Computer Science major, I only knew some fundamentals of data structures and algorithms. I was okay with C++ for the language, but their questions were very wide-ranging.
They varied from basic data structure problems to Python and SQL syntax, and also included some networking knowledge.
Because of this, I didn't do well.
However, looking back, the interview was quite easy and basic. The only difficulty was the wide coverage of topics. Therefore, interviewees should prepare a wide range of knowledge for Yelp.
Questions
Not very difficult, but the wide coverage requires the interviewee to have a sound foundation of computer science.
