Yelp Internship Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Jan 2012 in San Francisco, CA (took 4+ weeks)

I was contacted regarding a certain internship position at the San Francisco office. They requested that I provide my availability for a quick phone screen sometime in the coming days. I responded quite promptly, and never heard back from them. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I decided to wait 5 days before sending them an email asking something along the lines of "Hey, are we going to have this phone screen?" No response, of course. I very much so hate that I had to resort to this, but I did some research, found the number to their front desk, and decided to give them a call. After being put on hold, I was told that HR wouldn't be able to take my call. Honestly, Yelp Recruiting team, all I needed to hear from you was a simple "no." I don't care if you found somebody else or if you changed your mind about conducting a phone screen with me. Please inform me! Leaving any candidate completely in the dark is immensely unprofessional.

The Yelp Recruiting team will have tons of trouble attracting top talent if they can't get it together and make sure all candidates (interns or C-level) have a pleasure and professional experience.
