I applied through university. I interviewed at Yelp
Interview
I submitted my resume in the career fair of my university. A week later a recruiter contacted me and scheduled a talk with her, which lasted twenty minutes involving asking me what I'd like to do (front end or back end) and some very easy CS questions. (All the questions, all of them, you can find from previous posts here). Then we scheduled a second interview via skype. The interviewer was an software engineer. He asked me about my resume, some second round CS questions which you can also find from this website, then a coding question. I heard from the recruiter that I passed and now waiting for the third interview. I have to post something although my interview process has not done yet to read more articles on this website......
Leetcode style interview online via link, then a 1 on 1 technical interview with a lead developer also online where you can ask questions about the role and working at yelp, later more in depth technical tests and finally references and psicological tests.

Question 1
Talk about the project you are the most proud of, why do you want to work at yelp
Very intense. 4 back to back 45 minute interviews. One behaviour and four technical interviews.
Nice people but got the vibe everyone was happy with the work as it wasn’t too challenging.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp (Toronto, ON) in May 2025
Interview
Around 3 different rounds with a mix of behavioural and technical. Last round features on-site which lasts the whole day, where there are 2 dsa rounds, 1 system design round and 1 recruiter round to end the day.
