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.

Inappropriate?
by YELP = unprofessional + dishonest recruiting process. YELP = dishonest/fake reviews + dish:
I agree that is important to test the skills of the candidate, and honest interviewers should test your design skills on tests/topics that are not related to the company itself.
Their recruiting process is joke, full with unprofessional recruiters who do NOT even follow up with the candidate (ie Joanne Huang) , they just use the candidate to solve the problems that they can NOT even solve with their own YELP employees, and then throw you once they get your ideas. At this point I'm not sure if they are really hiring "Product Managers" or just do this process to steal/get ideas for free!!! Also YELP does NOT value diversity either... just look around their offices and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Good luck attracting " top talent " with your dishonest interview process!!
