I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp (New York, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
The first interview is over the phone and only lasted about 15 minutes. The initial questions are
1) What is Yelp
2) What is the product we offer local businesses
3) How would you succeed in a mainly cold calling, fast paced environment
4) When was a time you had been rejected or failed at something, what did you do to respond?
5) Why do you want to work at Yelp
The next part of the interview the interviewer talks a little but about what they do and their experience at Yelp

Question 1
4) When was a time you had been rejected or failed at something, what did you do to respond?
There is an initial screening call followed by another virtual interview where they just try to get to know you. The first call asked about eligibility to work in the US and logistical questions/info about the company. One of the interviews involves a sales pitch role play but wasn't too difficult.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2018
Interview
Met onsite at a college recruiting fair, was directed to the online application (no special link for those who met onsite). Afterwards there was an initial interview and a follow up interview. Initial interview was by phone and the second interview was on a video skype call.
