I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Yelp
Interview
Interview process was very welcoming, prompt and interesting.
1. A phone interview with a recruiter asking the question (that apparently) you can find here.
2. A Skype interview, telling about yourself for 20-30 minutes + technical part for 20-30 minutes.
3. An onsite interview, 4 session of ~55 minutes each (5 minutes brake between each interview).
You are interviewing for a specific group, 3 team members in that group and a manager.
The process in overall was the best one I have had out of many interviews for all famous companies.
Yelp seems like a great company with a promising future, and still you get having
a lot of impact comparing to other big companies.

Question 1
Very specific questions related to the team you are interviewing for.
Trees, hashes, sets, searching algorithms, big data, and in general, thinking outside the box.
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.
