I applied for a fullstack engineering role and completed the interview process. After finishing the final step including a four hour final interview I was told the team would get back to me soon. They sent an email later on saying that timelines were changing and I had to be more patient. They sent a couple of these emails over two months reminding me that they hadn’t forgotten me. Eventually, I was invited to speak with the hiring manager, which felt more like a casual conversation than a decision-making step. After that, there was silence for another two weeks. When I finally followed up, I received an email saying they had closed the position. No explanation was given for the long delay or why they interviewed people for a role they weren’t sure they’d fill. It was incredibly frustrating to invest time and emotional energy into a process that ended with the role being canceled.

I interviewed at Yelp London. Process was as follows: 1- Online Assessment on HackerRank 1- Recruiter chat 1- Behavioural Interview 4- Interviews - Virtual Onsite (1 behavioural, 2 coding and 1 system design). I had a terrible experience. Interviewers were nice, but after 1.5 month long process and 6 interviews later (+1 OA) with positive feedback. I received an email saying, hiring managers looked at my past experiences and don't think it's a good fit for the current role. Could've looked at my profile earlier and saved me a lot of time. I took days off to interview here. Please don't waste other candidates' time.
