I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Yelp (Scottsdale, AZ) in Nov 2011
Interview
I applied online and then within that same day I received a call for a 15 minute phone interview. Then was asked to come in the next day to do an in person. I saw 3 of the local sales managers, each seemed to take on a different character or roll. The first one kept yawning so I asked if she had a long night and the rest of that part went well. The second was very enthusiastic and excited. The third was trying to be more harsh and standoffish but after a few jokes warmed up even though he was trying to keep his game face on.
Lastly was an interview with a senior manager then one of the directors on the 3rd day. Started the very next Monday.
Not bad, pretty basic questions and my interviewer was very conversational and made me feel at ease. I think they just want to see that you can hold a conversation comfortably with a stranger and honestly anything goes here once you’re hired so really be yourself in the interview and make yourself stand out. Don’t be overly professional or timid.
The process started with an initial phone interview then a video interview with a sales manager that went into more detail and included a role play. I went through a referral so I was connected to a hiring manager right away.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process was great. I sat down with one of the company's sales managers and she asked me questions about myself, my interests, and why I would choose to work at the company if hired. It seemed like the main thing the company is looking for in hiring new Account Executives is teachability and openness to feedback and open to feedback. It's also important to have a positive attitude and growth mindset. Overall, I had a good experience during the interview process and the person interviewing me was very friendly and easy to communicate with.
