I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (Hamburg) in Feb 2019
Interview
Firstly I received a test for a 20 min problem, It was straightforward problem. I solved it and hacked all the tests then I was contacted by an HR for a screening interview. The interview was so normal. Usual HR questions then after a couple of days she replied back with "Thanks for your interest" without giving any feedback. I replied to her email asking for feedback in order to know my weakness point and improve and she didn't even reply. That was a total WASTE OF TIME.
Leetcode style interview online via link, then a 1 on 1 technical interview with a lead developer also online where you can ask questions about the role and working at yelp, later more in depth technical tests and finally references and psicological tests.

Question 1
Talk about the project you are the most proud of, why do you want to work at yelp
Very intense. 4 back to back 45 minute interviews. One behaviour and four technical interviews.
Nice people but got the vibe everyone was happy with the work as it wasn’t too challenging.
