Interviewed Jun 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Applied online and received an email 2 weeks later from a recruiter to schedule a 10 minute phone interview. The recruiter was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, I wasn't dealing with the same person on the day of the scheduled phone interview. The woman who interviewed me called late, seemed lazy, and was sounded irritated and rude. There was a lot of background chatter, I specifically remember this because I had trouble understand her and requested for her to repeat herself at times. With that said, I'm sure Yelp is a great company with some awesome employees, however the one I dealt with made the interview experience a negative one.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
I applied online. I got an email from the recruiter to select a time block for a phone interview with a sales manager. The entire phone interview was less than 10 minutes. She probably asked about 5-6 questions, why do you want to work here, what do you know about yelp, what's your experience, etc. I don't think she was listening to me...it felt rushed.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Phoenix, AZ (took 1 week)
The first interview was done over the phone with a general human resources person. The next interview was with managers over skype. They asked a lot of role-playing questions. You needed to go into the interview with a lot of phone sales experience and knowledge of the Yelp product offerings.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Scottsdale, AZ (took 2 days)
Phone interview was a simple screen. A week later, I had a skype interview where I talked with three managers. We did role playing of cold calls and talked more about the position and what my experience was.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
Interview process starts off with submission of resume and cover letter that get screened by the Recruiter. The next step was a phone screen from the recruiter asking basic questions. After this quick phone screen I had a phone screen with a Sales Manager, with the same sort of questions, although they were slightly different. I was then invited for an in-person interview at HQ that consisted of 3 Sales managers interviewing one after another. The managers then decide to either pass you on or stop the interview short, so if you get through all three interviews you will then hear back from a recruiter on the final decision. I heard back, I think, about a week after my in-person interviews. I have now been at Yelp for a year and have been promoted twice since.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
After sending in a cover letter and resume I was contacted by a recruiter and set up a 10 minute interview. "What do you know about Yelp"? "Tell me about this position", "What motivates you"? Interviewer barely said a word, thought perhaps we had been disconnected. Did not receive offer.

Interviewed May 2010 in Scottsdale, AZ (took 3 days)
Interview was very rushed and unorganized. I felt like they just wanted bodies, and would hire anyone. It initially started with a basic phone interview: touch bases and learn a little about me. I next went in on my own to hand-deliver my resume and ended up talking with one of the hiring managers. The final step was an in-person interview with three different people. One had me try and "hypothetically" sell them a table, the other asked about my past experience, and the final person asked what I like to do for fun.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Scottsdale, AZ (took 4 days)
Phone interview went flawless, asked me to come in the same day for face to face....I did 3, with 3 different people. I was at the office for over 3 hours. Got an offer. Accepted. Got an e-mail the Friday before training stating that they could not offer me the position anymore, no explanation given. BS.
