I applied through university. I interviewed at Yelp in Feb 2013
Interview
Applied during career fair. Got a call within a week.
First round was phone interview and the questions were same as what others have posted.
After that, I had a Skype interview for 45 minutes. First 30 minutes, interviewer asked about my previous work experience and projects. Why you want to work in yelp? What courses you took? How do u see yourself after graduation? Some questions on Sql (outer join, inner join, normalization)

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

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.
