I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp (Philadelphia, PA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Wait for weeks for results after every step. After the 2nd Skype interview. No reply about the result. I understand they decided not to hire me. But no reply is rude. No reply even I send email to ask the result. And I did figured out there coding test during the Skype interview. I don't know what is wrong with them.

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.
