I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
The entire process includes a timed online challenge, a skype phone interview, and afternoon onsite interview with 4 interviewers. The coding/algorithm questions are not so hard that I'd impress, and are not specifically for any coding language (though Python seems to be preferred). Every interviewer is very nice and would spend time to get to know you and the projects you worked on. Only 1 day after my onsite interview I was told that I'm rejected and they think I should enhance my project portfolio.
Although seems nice in person, the HR is not very responsive in the beginning.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mid-level coding/algorithm questions; ask you to explain the projects you've worked on.
The interview process consists of three rounds. The first is a phone screening, followed by a second round focused on technical skills with Python and SQL. The final round includes meetings with other data scientists, product managers, and the hiring manager.
I applied online. Few days later, a first interview was arranged with the HR, which should have been followed by a technical interview. Unfortunately I didn't continue with the process.
