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.
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.
The single Canada salary band makes it feel like we are hiring in Canada just to save money. BC/ON are drastically more expensive than places like AB, yet compensation is the same. Looking at how compensation is banded for our peers in the US, this just feels unfair if you work in a big Canadian metro.
It's also weird how we don't have serious marketing directives in Canada despite hiring out half of our product org there. I used Yelp in California/US and it's pretty sad how dead Yelp feels here in comparison.
A HackerRank online challenge presented a LeetCode-style question. It was a very generic coding challenge from a big company, similar to others. There's not much else to say, but HackerRank's input might be confusing, so watch out!
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.
The process took about 3 weeks. * Online assessment * Video interview * 4 rounds on-site (2 behavioral, 2 technical) Technical questions were mostly relevant to Yelp. Behavioral questions included: time you failed, time you had conflict with a tea
