I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in Mar 2012
Interview
The first interview was with a recruiter and had basic questions about topics in databases, datatypes and datastructures, security protocols like ssl etc.
Second interview was a skype interview with the engineer where i was asked to solve a problem where i was given a huge log file and the way id find the top 10 sites in them. Then asked a lot of javascript and datastucture questions.
I interviewed at Yelp (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
First interview purely logistical and HR related, followed by 1 technical interview with a leetcode easy question, then a week later 1 Behavioral Interview followed by technical interview with leetcode medium question back to back. Interviewees were very friendly, encouraging and helpful
Applied through their website. Received an email asking for a quick chat. Arranged within the week. Some chit-chat and then some rapid-fire technical questions. By the end of the conversation i was informed that i passed the round and we should arranged a skype interview with an engineer. Received an email a few days later that the intern positions were full.

Got the phone screen pretty quickly and was called by a recruiter for a pretty short conversation. The recruiter was really flexible about my schedule and a nice guy. Started the conversation with a few questions about what I would be interested in doing at the company, what my favorite languages to code in are. Then he asked some rapid-fire knowledge-based questions. They're on here for the most part--can't remember any that arent. He let me know at the end of the screen that I qualified for the interview with an engineer which we set up on the spot
