I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp in May 2013
Interview
First round HR phone screen, shooting you a bunch of basic questions regarding OS, Database, Network. Then a 45 mins Skype interview with a engineer two days later, which includes a coding question and some questions related to Java, Linux and Android. Followed up is the onsite in San Francisco, with 4 rounds of 1:1 interview. Each round has only 1 coding question and some design questions. The overall interview process was not bad. But yelp is very stingy at hotel reservation (only 1 night) and reimbursement.

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.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp (Toronto, ON) in May 2025
Interview
Around 3 different rounds with a mix of behavioural and technical. Last round features on-site which lasts the whole day, where there are 2 dsa rounds, 1 system design round and 1 recruiter round to end the day.
