The interview was pretty good. But when the onsite video interview was only two days away, they simply closed the vacancy, telling me that they had already filled the position.

Question 1
Use data structure and algorithm to solve the task
The interview scheduling process felt unfair. I was scheduled for a final interview weeks in advance, prepared thoroughly, and then suddenly told the position was already filled.
Instead of interviewing all shortlisted candidates before making a final decision, they closed the role early, which left me with wasted preparation time and a poor candidate experience.
It felt like timing, not qualifications, decided my fate — very frustrating as a candidate.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (Ciudad de Mexico) in Jul 2025
Interview
Me contactaron por correo, primer fase fue desafío por HackerRank sencillo, al día siguiente me notificaron que pasé a la siguiente fase, alrededor de dos semanas después tuve una entrevista sobre experiencias pasadas, desafíos que he enfrentado, etc. Entrevistador muy amable.

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Yelp in Jul 2025
Interview
I applied on LinkedIn and received a response within 2–3 days. After completing a HackerRank test, I was invited to the first interview.
The recruiter initially mentioned we would discuss 2–3 projects, but in the actual interview I only had the chance to cover one. The interviewer moved quickly through questions, and the interview felt shorter and more rushed than expected. Overall, I didn’t get the chance to showcase my full experience.
