      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp

      Interview

      disappointed, really. A recruter email me first in the begining and asked me to finishe a design exam, and they need pixel perfect version of my design, and give me a week to finish. Before that, no one to talk with me about this position and see if I can fit or not. I feel it is not respect me at all.

      UI Designer Interview

      12 Mar 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in Feb 2015

      Interview

      I would highly recommend not interviewing with Yelp for a design position. I have never had such a negative experience as I had with Yelp's design interview process. I've interviewed at other very competitive tech companies (more competitive than Yelp) and have been treated way better at each of them. Yelp's process: Reached out to by an employee who found me and thought I'd be a good fit. Referred by the employee (who's pretty high up) and was immediately contacted by a recruiter on email. The recruiter didn't take the time to talk to me on the phone, and instead sent me a design exercise. I have done design exercises for other companies, but never have I received it before interviewing (or even before talking to a recruiter!). The design exercise was the same as a previous reviewer mentioned, where you are presented with things to fix in Yelp. I found this a little odd at first. The other companies I've interviewed with made a point to make sure these were products I knew that none of the companies were working on. It was extremely clear from other companies that the challenge was to assess my skills and only my skills. Yelp was a different story. They wanted me to take their own existing app and completely revamp a significant portion of it and create high fidelity mockups for every single screen, free of charge, free of ownership. In essence, they were asking me to perform 8-10+ hours of free work, before talking with anyone on the phone. So I submitted my design, which I worked pretty hard on, and after a week I received a noreply standard rejection email. I still cannot fathom how insensitive this was. Not one employee could put in 15-30ish minutes to talk with me, neither before nor after I spend 8 hours creating possible design solutions for their product, and now they basically made it a point to devalue me by sending me an automated noreply. I have no idea how Yelp's internal culture is, but if this is how they are willing to treat candidates (and not just me, from the looks of it) then I can't imagine that they'd treat employees with much respect either.

      The only thing they asked me was to redesign parts of their product.
