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.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (New York, NY) in Jun 2012
Interview
Sent in my resume after finding the Job posting online for ad sales. After a few days I received an email from a recruiter asking when was a good time to speak over the phone. We set that up then on that day one of the managers called me. She asked what I knew about the company and a few more questions about how I would handle a sales job. She then asked me to come in for an on-site interview.
I showed up at the NY office and immediately noticed what an awesome environment it was. People were busy working but it was laid back and fun. They had 3 different managers come in one at a time and ask questions. Most of them were role playing and asking what I would do in certain situations. Took about half an hour maybe.
I got a call maybe a week or 2 later giving me an offer. I accepted and am now working in the September class!

Question 1
The role playing for me was a bit difficult because I didn't have any sales experience, but they're really good at helping you out if you're stuck.
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.

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.
