I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yelp
Interview
It began with a Hackerrank assignment which was an easy algorithm question.
Then I talked to the recruiter discussing the team and my background.
After that I had a behavioral 1 hour interview with one of the team members to understand how fit I am for the team:
we discussed two of my previous questions and digged in about what challenged me.
After that I had a Panel interview which contained four 45 minutes interviews:
First round was a system design folloeing by two algorithm and one behavioral interview.
Then after a couple of weekas they contacted me for a quick call with the team manager.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
how would you design a system in which Yelp users can request to download all the data they shared. their data can contain images and videos and text and it can be about 5 GB for active users.
Create a function that when a table in a restaurant become available by knowing the size of each group and the amount of time they have been waiting it decides which group can go in.
it followed up with adding features like the size of the table can be >= or == group of people
and at last they followed it up by adding the shared table functionality
4 back to back interviews : 1 system design, 2 tech tests, 1 behavioural. All virtual and in a single afternoon. Everyone was quite friendly and encouraging which says a lot of their company culture.
The hr reached me out on Linkedin and we had a phone interview. After the phone interview, he sent me an OA. Then three weeks passed till now I didn't get any reply. Note that I asked him if there is any update through Linkedin but he did not reply to me at all. I think even the result is a rejection I deserve a response at least.
