It was terrible, I felt the recruitment completely not interest on me since the first contact, but for some reason they talked to me. The first technical interview was easy, I was able to solve the problem in a just a few minutes, I did the complexity analysis, everything went well. But in the next day the feedback which I've received was that I was not approved, and they couldn't provide me individual feedback. Well, such a waste of time. Please, if you don't like a candidate for any non technical reason, despite of being so weird, please don't start the process with him, don't make him lose time.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
