I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2013
Interview
Got contacted by Yelp in the month of December. Had a phone screening that only lasted about ten minutes. 1-2 Behavioral questions, then about 10-15 rapid fire basic technical questions.
Some questions asked in phone screening:
Behavioral:
- Why Yelp? (obvious one)
Technical:
- What does SSL stand for, explain what it does
- Maximum value of unsigned integer
- Number of bits in an octal
- How to retrieve a row from a table in SQL
etc.
After this round, I was sent to a 45 minute interview over skype a week later. Again, a few behavioral questions, and then one coding question at the end. I was feeling sick that day and got caught off guard by the coding question but it's totally doable.

Question 1
Coding question from round 2:
Given a large log file, return or print the ten most visited URLs.
Fue un proceso de varias rondas. Incluyendo entrevistas técnicas y de cultural fit. Además también hubo una prueba técnica online enviada por el recruiter. El proceso fue rápido y en todo momento estuve informado sobre su avance y desarrollo.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Yelp (Boston, MA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Interview was smooth. They have a nice system to accept code for the coding problems and their technical questions were reasonable. No complains overall, I would recommend them for sure.
